in its general characters, seemed baccatum, but the sketch was rather too indisiinct 

 to be safely named. 



The Rev. Arthur Gray sent a specimen of the Green Helebore (Relleborus 

 viridigj, from Orcop, which was not known to grow in that district before ; and 

 Mr. Blashill also brought several specimens of the delicate little Adoxa 

 motchatclUna nicely in blossom, an early spring plant that is not common in the 

 central districts of the county. 



The Kev. S. Clark, vice-president, then exhibited a series of what he 

 called " Corrugated Pepples," which ho had found in the gravel bed of the 

 chalk of Hampshire. They had the usual yellow-brown coating of that gravel. 

 The "Corrugations" were so regular and complete, especially in some of the 

 specimens, that the opinion seemed general as to their organic formation. Some 

 thought them the production of certain sponges — and in the midat of a resolution 

 to take steps to ascertain their true character — dinner was announced, and a 

 general move took place. 



Immediately after dinner, the President had to leave for London on unavoid- 

 able business, and the chair was taken by Dr. M'Cullough, the President elect. 



The thanks of the meeting were given to Edwin Lees, Esq., F.L.S., Vice- 

 President of the "Worcestershire Naturalists' Field Club ; to the Rev. William 

 Houghton, of the Severn Valley Club ; and to the Rev. J. D. La Touche, of the 

 Caradoc Club, for the honour they had done to the Woolhope Club by coming so 

 far to attend this meeting. Mr. La Touche had been very useful in the services 

 he had so kindly rendered to the club at the C'lun meeting last year, and there 

 could be no doubt, with fine weather, that the joint meeting of the Caradoc 

 and "WooUiope Clubs on the CleehiU next July, under his superintendence, 

 would be very enjoyable. Mr. Lees they were always glad to see, for he was too 

 useful not to be missed very much when absent. And Mr. Houghton had been 

 kind enough to bring with him some photographs of a very curious and 

 interesting character, upon which he would favour them with some observa- 

 tions presently. 



Dr. M'CuUough then drew the attention of the club to the young 

 Salmonidse.
