The party travelled by Great Western Railway from Barrs Court Station 

 at 9.45 arriving by special train at Tintern at 11.30, and proceeded direct to the 

 abbey, where they were joined by Dr. Yeats (Chepstow), and Mr. J. Lorraine 

 Baldwin (St. Anne's). 



Dr. Yeats gave an oral explanation of some very curious stones found in 

 the Abbey, one sometimes supposed to be a plan of the Abbey estates. 



An explanatory paper was then read by Mr. Haddon (architect), giving a 

 most interesting description of the Abbey itself, which Mr. Haddon illustrated by 

 exhibiting some well-executed drawings and plans of the building. Owing to the 

 difficulty of getting conveyances to convey the party to Trelleck to view the ento- 

 mological collection of the Rev. C. A. Kupar, which he had kindly consented to 

 allow the members of the Club to inspect, the programme was, in this instance, 

 departed from, and many of the members and visitors then wended their way to 

 the woods of WyndcUflf, and the interesting town of Chepstow. The day was 

 beautifully fine, and the scenery from the heights of Wyndcliff was magnificent, 

 and thoroughly enjoyed.
