Jones ultimately removed from Gloucester, and resided for a 
time in Belgium, from whence he went to London, where the 
latter years of his life were passed. He led there a very 
secluded life, spending most of his time in the British Museum, 
where he obtained employment in transcribing ancient docu - 
ments, in the reading of which he had attained to great pro- 
ficiency. He died on the 5th of January last, at the age of 63. 
Besides Joun Jonzs, the Club has to lament the loss, by death, 
of old and valued friends in Dr. Evans, Rev. A. M. Brown, 
and R. W. Hate. ; 
I have the authority of our invaluable Treasurer and Hon. 
Secretary, Dr. Parnes, to report that the financial condition of 
the Club is sound and satisfactory; and that, notwithstanding 
our losses by death and secession, our numbers are well 
maintained. 
ANNUAL MEETING. 
The Club held its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, 20th April, 
1880, at the Spread Eagle Hotel, Gloucester. The President 
read his address, after which the officers of the Club for the 
ensuing year were chosen when you again did me the honor to 
elect me as your President, with Mr. T. B. Ll. Barer, Dr. 
Wrient, F.R.S.,and Mr. Lucy as Vice-presidents, and Dr. ParnE 
as honorary Secretary. 
Dr. Wricut then brought under the notice of the Club several 
fossil organisms believed to be new to science. Of these the 
most remarkable was a new Brittle-star obtained by Professor 
Buckman from the Calciferous Grit of Sandsfoot Castle near 
Weymouth, named by Dr. Wricur Ophiurella nereida. The 
example was finely preserved in what appeared to be a nodule 
of clay ironstone. Scarcely less interesting was a portion of a 
crustacean believed to be previously unknown, a “ Pseudo 
glyppea” from the Inferior Oolite of Leckhampton-hill : this 
the learned Doctor proposed to name “<P, Guiset” in honor 
of your president. A new and very beautifully preserved 
“Urchin” (Hemipedina) from the upper beds of the Inferior 
Oolite of Birdlip-hill was also exhibited.
