Wednesday, 17th August. The members of the Club met at the 

 Queen's Hotel, Cheltenham, where they were joined by the President, 

 Secretary, and many of the Malvern Club; a joint meeting of Field 

 Clubs having been arranged for the occasion, comprising be-sides the 

 Malvern Club, those of "Dudley" and "the Midland:" the two latter, 

 however, owing to local impediments, failed to keep tryst. Between 30 

 and 40, however, took the field under the geological guidance of Mr. 

 Etheridge, of the Geological Sui-vey, whose beautiful sections of the 

 Jurassic series in diflerent parts of England, afibrded a most instructive

 horses conveyed the j^arty to the Seven Springs, which, as one of the 

 fountain-heads of the Thames, is regarded with much local reverence ; 

 while in summer time an Egeria is never wanting to dispense its limpid 

 and ice-cold waters to the thirsty wayfarer — for a consideration — which 

 custom of the place was, on the occasion i-eferred to, duly observed. 



At Leckhampton Hill the section was thoroughly examined, and 

 debated with reference more particularly to the correlation of its beds 

 with the same series elsewhere, when a slight difference of opinion 

 between Dr. Holl and Mr. Etheridge gave point and interest to the 

 discussion. The day was remarkably fine, and the prospect from this 

 well-known point was never seen to greater advantage. 



The party dined together at the Queen's Hotel. After dinner Mr. 

 Beach read an instnictive and interesting paper upon the Fungi of the
