advisable to change the hour of meeting from 2.30 p.m. to 3 p.m.

EXCURSIONS. 
Berkeley Castle.—The first excursion took place on April 14th to 
Berkeley Castle, under the guidance of Mr. W. Daubeny in the 
absence of the Secretary. Eighteen members joined the Midland 
train for Berkeley, waited the usual time in the porter’s lodge ; 
visited the Castle and Church, did full justice to the fare provided 
by “mine host” of the Berkeley Arms Hotel, the main portion of 
the party enjoying a pleasant walk back to Berkeley Road Junction 
and returned to Bath 5.22. The weather was beautiful and the 
excursion to the old Borough of Berkeley pleasant. Mr. Daubeny 
has been prevented from giving his promised “‘ Notes on Berkeley,” 
which were too voluminous to read during the excursion. 
Stanton Drew.—The Geological excursion to the Lias cuttings 
in the Polden Hills on the Bridgwater Railway was given up 
owing to the inability of Mr. Mostyn Clarke the author of the 
paper printed in the last number of our Proceedings to be present ; 
and one to Stanton Drew, conducted by Mr. W. Daubeny 
substituted. 
A party of nine members started on Tuesday, May 26th, 1891, 
at 11.30, in a well appointed drag, supplied by Mr. Ames, for 
Stanton Drew, which they reached about 1 p.m. vid Keynsham. 
More members would have joined the party but for illness and 
the uncertain appearance of the weather. The Vicar of Stanton 
Drew, the Rev. H. T. Perfect, most kindly met the party at the 
church, and pointed out its interesting features, both externally 
and internally, and exhibited several drawings of it, taken at 
different periods. The church has undergone repeated alterations, 
the greater part of it having been rebuilt in 1847, when the top 
of the tower was taken down and re-erected. The date, 1629, 
appears in the tower, and it is conjectured that the south aisle,
