The Warwickshire Naturalists' and Archaeologists' 

 Field Club (by the kind permission of the Council of this 

 Society,) held their Annual Meeting at the Museum, 

 Warwick, on Tuesday, February 27th, 1878. In the ab- 

 sence of the President the Chair was taken by the Rev. 

 P. B. Brodie, Vice-President. The following papers were 

 read : On " The Lias of Fenny Compton, Warwickshire," 

 by Thomas Beesley, Esq., F.C.S. On "Fossil Lepidop- 

 tera," by the Rev. P. B. Brodie, M.A., F.G.S. 



The first Summer Meeting of the Club was held at 

 Harbury. The Geologists examined the fine section of 

 lower Lias seen in the cutting, and the equally instructive 

 sections at the adjacent Lime works of Messrs. Greaves, 

 Bull, and Lakin. Thence they drove to Stockton, where 

 other large quarries of Lias are worked ; these taken in 

 conjunction with Harbury, where lower beds come in, 

 give an excellent detailed exposure of the lower division 

 of the Lias above the Insect limestone (Planorbis shales) 

 and underlying beds. A large party of Archaeologists 

 visited the Roman Camp at Chesterton, and the churches' 

 of Chesterton, Harbury, and Ladbrook. 

 No Meeting was held at Midsummer. 



The special Archaological Day was held at Cropredy, 

 when the members present visited the churches of Cropredy, 

 Edgcot, Chipping Warden, Aston-le- Walls, Claydon, 

 Farnborough, and Shotteswell. 



The last Meeting was held at Dumbleton and Alderton> 

 an Gloucestershire, to examine the sections of Middle 

 and Upper Lias, which is here rich in fossils, and only 

 Geologists being present the day was mostly spent in 

 a pleasant walk over these beautiful hills, and searching 

 for fossils.
