phragmacones of Belemnoteuthis, intermingled with Belemnites.” 
Professor Morris, who supplied the list of organic remains found 
during the excavations,! named a fine species of Ammonite, which 
has hitherto been only found at Trowbridge, Ammonites Reginaldi, 
in honour of the discoverer. Specimens of this shell, and of other 
Oxford Clay and Kimmeridge Clay fossils from Mr. Cunnington’s 
museum were exhibited. 
The Rev. E. Pracock read a short paper on “ Southwick Court, 
Cutteridge, and Brook House,’ which were to be visited on the 
following morning: and with this the proceedings of the day termi- 
nated. 
SECOND DAY’S PROCEEDINGS, THURSDAY, AUG. 8ru. 
On Thursday morning the Archzologists assembled in considerable 
numbers before the George Hotel, and proceeded in breaks and 
carriages of various descriptions, under the guidance of the Honorary 
Secretaries, on the first excursion. First they visited the old house 
at Cutteridge, of which they had heard some interesting particulars, 
on the previous evening from the Rev. E. Peacock, but of which 
but few remains now exist; the old gardens, however, and its 
magnificent vines, whose antiquity even archeologists would find it 
difficult to define, attracted no little admiration. From Cutteridge 
they proceeded by Brook House to Westbury, and the road they 
traversed was, at all events, worthy of mention; for throughout a 
distance of something more than a quarter of a mile, they passed up 
the bed of a stream, between its two high banks, while the water 
reached above the axles of the carriages; and this not (as was at 
first supposed) from any overflow in consequence of the late heavy 
rains, but it was the regular ordinary condition of things, that the 
same narrow channel should serve both for river and for road, an 
economy of space, doubtless, highly to be commended in a working 
neighbourhood, though a little inconvenient perhaps under certain 
circumstances,for example in the case of a refractory or jibbing horse, 
for there was no possibility of retreating, when once in the bed of 
the stream ; or in the case of meeting another conveyance, arriving
