St. John Ambulance Association. He was Ruling Councillor of 
the local Primrose League, and Vice-President of the Bath Rural 
Council National Agricultural Union. All who came in contact 
with Colonel Wright were struck with his unfailing courtesy and 
sturdy common sense, and his demise at his manor house at 
Southstoke is mourned over a very large area, the more so as it. 
was so unexpected. The Field Club has also to lament the loss, 
during the year, of two Members of very long standing. Mr. H.

was elected Vice-President in the place of the late Colonel 
Bingham Wright.

for the Advancement of Science, and all the Antiquarian and 
Natural History Clubs with which the Bath Field Club is in

besides special gifts from individual Members, 
The Secretary for Excursions, Mr. M. H. Scott, informs me 
that all the Excursions on the arranged programme for the year
