under the guidance of the local acting Engineer, who 

 was obliging enough to join the party, and gave them 

 every facility for examining a very interesting section of 

 Oolite, seen in the enlargement of the line then in 

 progress. The sections exposed Forest Marble, Great 

 Oolite, Northampton Sands, and Upper Lias Clay, 

 with numerous characteristic fossils. The Archaeologists 

 visited the churches of Middleton, Collingtree, and 

 Wooton. 



The third Meeting was held at Uppingham, in 

 Rutlandshire, on Wednesday, July i6th. Owing to the 

 threatening and uncertain state of the weather, very few 

 members were present, and as there was only one 

 Geologist, the day was entirely devoted to Archaeology, 

 and was pleasantly spent in visiting the churches of the 

 district. The church at Glaston, which was first 

 examined, seems to have undergone many changes from 

 restoration at various times, and some curious details 

 were noticed on the south side of the nave, and a bell 

 hung out from the low spire in a peculiar manner 

 excited attention. Stoke Dry church contains some iine 

 monuments of the Digby family of the time of 

 Henry VII. and Elizabeth. Lyddington has a capacious 

 chancel of the decorated period of the fourteenth century, 

 the western door and tower being excellent examples of 

 the decorated style. The churchyard wall is improperly 

 coped with old coffin tombstones of the fourteenth 

 century. Seaton church contains an early English 

 arcade with semi-circular arches. The interesting 

 Geology of the district will it is hoped be visited by the 

 Members of the Club at some future period, and in a 

 more favourable season.
