J. 8. Whittem, Esq., then read a paper on the supposed 
glacial drift in the neighbourhood of Coventry, in which the 
prevalent character of the quartzose pebbles were pointed out 
and the fossils which occur in the other drifted materials in 
the district. 
A. Startin, Esq., next read a paper on some special deposits 
of drift at Exhall, near Coventry, and on the drift generally 
in that neighbourhood. It was shown that the drift consisted 
of a variety of rocks, some of which contained fossils, both 
of local and distant formations, many of which were referred 
to the glacial epoch. The Rev. P. B. Brodie read a second 
paper on the fossiliferous beds of the New Red Sandstone (the 
upper and lower Keuper) in Warwickshire. The general 
character, range, and extent of this formation was described, 
‘and a further extension shown at Edstone, not previously 
recorded, a detailed account was given of thie various fossils, 
with a list of all those hitherto discovered in Warwickshire 
and elsewhere, and the footsteps which so abundantly 
characterize the deposit, were largely dwelt upon, and 
referred to, at least, three genera of Labyrinthodont animals, 
The first summer meeting was held at Nuneaton, on the 16th 
of May; the second at Bredon Hill, in Warwickshire, on the 
10th of August; and the third meeting, the Archzological 
day, at Alcester, on September 7th, 1866. A full account of 
these is given in the proceedings of the Club for 1866.
