The members si)ciit the limited time at Uieii- disposal in exploring the strata 

 in the easterly direction, beyond the bridge leading into Frith Wood, and in the 

 Aymestry limestone a Pentanierns Knightii was immediately found, and other 

 fossils in the 25 feet of fossil-yielding portion out of the total length of 395 feet. 



Carriages conveyed the membei-s from Ledbury Railway Station to the 

 British Camp Inn, distant about five miles, whence the ascent was made of the 

 Herefordshire Beacon, whilst the carriages returned down the Ridgeway to the 

 Holly Bush Pass. From the Herefordshire Beacon British Camp the members 

 proceeded along the ridge of the hill, in a southerly direction, passing by Clutter's 

 Cave (the locality of the Sacrificial Stone on the Herefordshire slope below the 

 Cave having been pointed out), across the Silurian Pass, over Swinyard Hill, 

 through the Gullet Pass, up the eastern slope of Midsummer Hill, until they 

 arrived at the hollow between it and Holly Bush Hill, where Mr. Piper read a 

 paper illustrated by diagrams, indicating the site of the ancient British town, the 

 hut hollows on Midsummer Hill, and the means of storing water by a series of 

 embankments. See a paper on this same subject by Mr. F. G. Hilton Price 

 termed "Camps on the Malvern Hills," on page 217 of Transaction?, of May 20th, 

 1880. See the diagram opposite. As soon as Mr. Piper's paper had been 

 concluded, it then being about half-past three, rain began to descend. This was 

 unfortunate, because the members were obliged to spend the next hour in seeking 

 shelter, instead of listening to a field addre? s upon the geology of the district from 

 Mr. Piper, accompanied with di.igrams, specially prepared for the occasion.* 



On the journey home from Holly Bush Pass to Ledbury the carriages halted 

 at an exposure of greenstone on the road side on the left hand, where Mr. Piper 

 directed the attention of the members to the boulders, formed by igneous action, 

 existing abundantly in this eruj^tive rock. 



On arrival at Ledbury dinner was partaken of at the Royal Oak Inn.

 geologically coloured, of succession of Palaeozoic strata, dipping westward from the Malvern 

 Hills, until some future visit of our Club to this locality.— Eu.
