 height of 2545 feet, and which are in this district estimated to be

I shall not notice the evidences of upheaval and denudation 

 which must have struck every reflecting observer, but will refer you 

 to the address of our late lamented member. The Eev. Thomas T. 

 Lewis, where the subject has been discussed with all that local 

 knowledge and ability which peculiarly distinguished his investiga- 

 tions ; and to Mr. Stmonds' able paper on the Old Eed Sandstone 

 of Herefordshire.* Descending Garway Hill, our road lay through 

 Kentchurch Park, to Kilpeck and St. Devereux, whence the 

 railway conducted us to Hereford. I cannot conclude the notice of 

 this day's proceedings, ■svithout referring to the pleasure which the 

 members experienced from the presence of Capt. Guise, the president 

 of the Cotteswold Club, whose knowledge on all subjects connected 

 with ITatural History, particularly Entomology, is as accurate and 

 methodical as it is various. He has kindly favoured me with a list, 

 which I sulijoin, of the Beetles, which he met with during the day, 

 by the roadside and on the swampy pai-ts of Garway HiU. 



Our second meeting was at Ludlow, on the 24th July. The 

 members proceeded to Downton Castle ; our indefatigable member, 

 Mb. Lightbodt, undertook to be our guide for this day's excursion. 

 After examining a section of the Old Eed on the left bank of the 

 Teme, we crossed at Forge Bridge, and walked down the river for 

 a short distance, as far as Tin Mills, to examine the passage from 

 the Ludlow rocks into the Old Eed. On our way, a quarry of the 

 Downton Sandstone, the beds of which dipped at a sharp angle to 

 the south west, was examined. On one of the slabs of building 

 stone, recently raised by the workmen, numerous heads and other 

 portions of Eurypterus pygmoeus and Pterygotus Banksii, with parts 

 of the body rings of another species of Pterygotus (probably P. 

 Gigas) were observed. Passing onwards, some oUve grey coloured
