deposit, and many excellent specimens of alabaster were obtained. 
Unfortunately, the Rev. H. H. Winwood (who intended to give the 
Club some geological account of the neighbourhood and the local 
deposits) was unable, through indisposition, to go to the rocks, 
so Mr. Barlow said a few words on the probable cause of the 
alabaster deposit on this part of the coast, and read a letter from 
the Rev. H. H. Winwood, addressed to the members, of which the 
following is an extract :—“ At Watchet, west of the harbour, was 
the place where Professor Boyd Dawkins found the earliest trace 
of a Mammal, in the shape of a Molar tooth, which once belonged 
to a Marsupial rejoicing in the name Hypsiprinopsis Rheticus, 
thereby gaining the blue ribbon of geology from our late member, 
_ Charles Moore, who found his Mammalian tooth in a remanié and 
not in situ as Dawkins did.” 
The carriages soon took the members to Old Cleve, where Mr. 
Herringham kindly showed them over the Church, and pointed 
out the Monks’ walk through the Churchyard from Chapel Cleve 
to Cleve Abbey. The tower of Old Cleve is good, and of the 
Perpendicular style, as indeed is most of the Church. There is 
some particularly pretty tracery in the West window of the South 
Aisle, and a similar pattern appears at S. Decuman’s, subsequently 
visited. A little bit of carving placed as a cornice to the South 
Aisle, which is supposed to be the remnants of an ancient screen, 
is well worth attention. A recumbent figure in the Church 
caused some difference of opinion as to whether it represented a 
male, or female figure, the majority considered it that of a female, 
but being much obliterated, it was difficult to decide; it had 
probably been removed and placed in its present position. Mr. 
Herringham having been thanked for his kindness, a start was 
made for Washford, The weather now began to improve, and by 
the time the hotel was in sight, the sun was shining brilliantly. 
After lunch a start was made for Cleve Abbey. The entrance 
gateway, perhaps the latest part of the work, contains (on the 
inner side) three niches, in the centre one is a crucifix jn
