caused some considerable trouble to compile. He put a few 
queries to the reader of the paper, and asked the meaning of 
Cold Harbour. He was followed by the Rev. W. T. Blathwayt, 
who said that at Dryham there was a field called Bellasus, and 
he should like to know if Canon Ellacombe could explain the 
meaning. The Rev. P. E. George mentioned that at Combe Hay 
a field, which rose from the valley on the Wellow side, was called 
Yostes. Dr. Mantell, as instancing the way in which names were 
corrupted, mentioned that in Gloucestershire there was a field 
originally called the Loans, but it had now become the Lawns. 
Col. Wright spoke of a place in Somersetshire known as Tyning

was a place called Cold Harbour. Canon Ellacombe, in reply,

and its meaning had been the subject of much discussion. Mr. 
Nichols, however, came to the conclusion that the name carried 
its own meaning, and arose from the camps or halting places of 
the Roman soldiers in this country. He considered that Tyning 
always meant an enclosure. He had little doubt that Yostes 
implied the steep ground rising from the water. A vote of thanks, 
carried by acclamation, brought the proceedings to a close. 
The third afternoon meeting was held at the Royal Literary and

Ellacombe in the chair. Mr. E. Green read a paper recording the 
visits to Bath of two Queens; viz., Anne, wife of King James II, 
and Anne, Queen Regnant (vide p. 213). On the conclusion of the 
paper the Chairman said the Club was much indebted to Mr. 
Green for his always interesting papers, which gave so much 
information as to the domestic life of past ages, and helped to 
make up the history of our country. The question of Queen 
Anne visiting Dyrham was one of much doubt, but there was a 
tradition that a grand bed at Dyrham was the one which the
