The Museum at Bath remains a splendid monument of his 
untiring patience and industry. This collection, valued at 
£1,100, has, I am glad to say, been secured, by subscription, to 
the city of Bath for ever. Moorz’s principal contributions to 
geologic science are to be found in “the Quarterly Journal of 
the Geological Society,” and in “the Proceedings of the 
Somersetshire Archeological and Natural History Society.” 
He was for many years a member of the Cotteswold Field Club, 
and was a frequent attendant at our Field Meetings. He died 
in December, 1881, universally regretted by all who knew him, 
and leaving a gap amongst scientific workers which will not 
readily be filled up. 
It has only just come to my knowledge that death has, within 
these few days, removed from among us one of the oldest and 
most illustrious members of the Cotteswold Club in the person 
of Dr. Jonn Lycert, who expired at his residence, at Scarborough, 
on the 8th of this month. Some years ago he suffered from 
paralysis, and his health was thereby a good deal impaired, but 
his intellect remained clear and unclouded, and to the last his 
leisure hours were occupied with the study of Paleontological 
science. Dr. Lycrrr practised for many years at Minchinhampton, 
and while there he worked hard at the geology of the district, 
and his labours found expression in 14 papers contributed to 
“the Transactions of the Cotteswold Club;” and in the mag- 
nificent monograph published by the Paleontographical Society 
on “the Great Oolite of Minchinhampton,” in which he was 
associated with Professor Morris; and in the splendid mono- 
graph of “the British Trigoniz,” which, so late as the month 
of February last, gained for him the coveted award of the Lyell 
Medal. He published, likewise, a “ Handbook to the Geology 
and Paleontology of the Cotteswold Hills.” 
The loss of two such men as CuartEes Moore and Jonn Lycerr 
is great ; but they leave behind them for our imitation a noble 
example of good work honestly and truthfully accomplished. 
During the past season, our Field Meetings were instructive 
and well attended; and at our Winter Meetings some good 
papers were read, followed by useful discussions.
