below the present reservoir, some two feet beneath the surface, 
and covered with a tufaceous deposit of carbonate of lime, con- 
taining impressions of recent plants, a cache of bronze ornaments 
_ and implements was found. These objects had been seen both 
by Professor Boyd Dawkins and Sir John Evans, who had pro- 
nounced them as being of late Celtic age. They consisted of 
torques, armlets, bracelets, sickles, spear ferules, dagger-blades, 
&c., and had been artistically arranged in a case by Mr. Charles 
Gilby, to whom Mr. Winwood expressed his obligation for much 
information during the progress of the works. Two bronze 
armlets now in the Museum at the Literary Institution were 
found in 1857 at Cherry Wells on the side of Charmydown. 
And the first find of the Urus in Britain was made some years ago 
near Melksham. From the measurements then taken of the skull 
and horn cores, the ox must have been about 12 feet long and 6 
feet 5 inches high, the skull of the one found near Monkswood 
exceed this in size and must have belonged to a larger animal. 
The different bones together with the fine skull which were 
exhibited to the members may be seen at the Municipal Offices, 
_where they are now kept, as likewise may the bronze implements. 
Mr. Winwood desired to acknowledge the assistance he had 
derived during his visits from Mr. White, the clerk of the works, 
and also his indebtedness tio Mr. Hammond for having brought 
the objects down for exhibition. Mr. McMurtrie said he had it 
in his mind when Mr. Winwood mentioned the matter that a 
landslip must have been accountable for the mass of the Great 
Oolite being found in such a position. They had to assume that 
the land was at one time all comparatively level, with slight 
depressions, which gradually deepened into ravines, from ravines 
into shallow valleys and from shallow valleys into bigger ones. 
In this process numerous landslips must have happened. The 
discoveries which had been brought before them that day were 
the most valuable that had been introduced to the Bath Field 
Club for many years and well worthy of special record. He
