This brought the proceedings to a close, after which a long 
and cold drive of nearly ten miles was needed to carry those 
whose destination lay in that direction, to the Stonehouse 
station, on the Midland Railway. 
The Fourth Field Meeting was held on Tuesday, 14th of 
August. The appointed place of meeting was the 
NOTGROVE STATION, 
on the Banbury and Cheltenham line of railway, where the 
party found carriages in waiting. Attention was directed to 
the cutting at the station, which shows the Oolite Marl and 
overlying Ragstones, resting upon Freestones at the base of 
the section. The carriages thence conveyed the party in the 
direction of Fox Hill, with a view to examining the “ Hawling 
Lodge Fault,” which is described in Hull’s memoir of the 
country round Cheltenham as being “ one of the most persistent 
faults of the district, traversing the country for a distance of 
at least seven miles from the Lower Lias of the Vale of 
Winchecomb to within a short distance of Bourton-on-the- 
Water. The evidence of this fault may be well studied at Fox 
Hill, where the Freestones of the Inferior Oolite will be found 
coming against the Fullers’ Earth.” After a short delay at 
this point, the carriages moved on. Passing through the 
village of Naunton, they presently struck the line of the 
“Buggilde Street,” an ancient British trackway, which has 
been traced in a direct line from the camp at Salmondsbury, 
near Bourton-on-the-Water, to Alcester. It is accompanied 
along its course by tumuli on both sides of the way. Halts 
were made to examine the beds of ‘‘Stonefield Slate” at 
Eyford and at Kyneton Thorns. At Eyford quarries was found 
a block of stone, on which were, in relief, two curious cellular 
forms several inches in length, on the nature of which none 
of those present could throw any light; but opinion was in 
favour of their being of vegetable origin. I sent the stone for
