Passing the once famous Lawford quarries, long since 
closed, a short examination was given to some comparatively 
recent fluviatile drift on the banks of the river, in which 
many bones of deer, bison, water-rat, &c., have been 
found, with anodous and other river shells and a few flint 
implements, of which the Rugby school museum has a 
large and interesting collection. 
After leaving Holbrook, a careful search was made 
in the white lias at Newnham, where a few of the usual 
characteristic fossils were obtained, the last quarry visited 
at Newbold exhibited a good section of the ‘lima beds,” 
similar to that at New Bilton. A new species of Discina 
(D. Holdeni), attached to an ammonite (in groups) and 
monotis were discovered by Mr. Clemenshaw, at this pit. 
. A clay pit near the town, higher in the series, yielded 
numerous specimens of Ammonites Sauzianus, and other 
fossils. 
On June 24th, 1867, the club held their summer field 
meeting, extending as usual over several days, at Welshpool 
and North Shropshire. Arriving at Welshpool, at three 
o’clock, a small party under the guidance of the Rector, 
visited Powis Castle, from which a fine view is obtained 
of the Briedden and other hills, and afterwards spent the 
rest of the afternoon in the celebrated Trilobite dingle, 
where sections of the Bala (or Caradoc) beds are exposed 
and abound in remains of Trinucleus, a very fine entire 
specimen of which was obtained, and a few Ampyx. 
On Tuesday morning, an early start was made to Chir- 
bury, driving through a beautiful country to the picturesque 
Marrington Dingle, thence to Cornden hill, from the summit 
of which a splendid view is obtained on all sides, over- 
looking the whole range of the Longmynd on the south
