revealed through the narrow strips of pure crystal in the stained 
glass windows. In various paddocks were seen Kangaroos, the 
Apis Deer, and other rare creatures disporting themselves, while 
in the park itself, enjoying perfect freedom, and upon terms of 
the most perfect familiarity with their visitors, ran a small herd 
of Llamas. 
After spending some hours most agreeably in the contemplation 
of this beautiful spot, the Club adjourned to Berkeley, whither its 
members were conveyed and accompanied by their kind enter- 
tainer, and where dinner was served. After dinner Dr. Wright 
read a paper upon some unique Echinoderms of the Oolites, of 
which he exhibited specimens. Mr. Lycett had brought with 
him an exceedingly interesting series of Gryphea dilitata, for the 
special purpose of correcting certain heretical opinions of our 
Secretary, Professor Buckman, but it appeared from the reports 
of some of his Cirencester neighbours that he was “not in con- 
dition,” and consequently Mr. Lycett did not bring his paper 
forwards, and, much to the regret of “the fancy,’ there was “ no 
fight.” 
“Tn the absence of the President and Secretary, the chair was 
taken by the Rev. J. S. Haygarth, who, in addition to the usual 
toasts, proposed the health of the President and Secretary of the 
Club. 
Those members who were dependant upon the train for home 
transit, were kindly driven there by their host of the morning, 
P. B. Purnell, Esq., thus terminating one of the most delightful 
days of which record has hitherto been placed upon the annals of 
the Club. 
Sept. 25th, at Birdlip, as usual, a large meeting took place, a 
great point of attraction being Crickley hill, the interesting fossils 
of which locality, though picked up for the thousandth time, seem 
never to tire. Here the great height to which the Upper Lias 
creeps up the scarp, which latter bears such evidence of ancient 
water action, was commented upon by the Secretary, by whom 
the following section of Crickley hill was taken :—
