determination to our colleague, R. E. Eruerinas, F.R.S., who 
stated, in reply, “It is one of the Annelid burrows allied to 
Scolithus, &c. Some of the so-called plants, Arthrophycus, 
Buthotrephis, Russophycus, &c., which are Annelid burrows, and 
casts in the Paleozoic series, are quite the same.” At Kyneton 
Thorns the upper beds have been largely worked for roofing 
slates by the Romans, of whom tracesare found in old workings 
and all over the adjoining ground—indeed, wherever the ground 
is moved, pottery, coins, and interments are discovered. The 
interments are numerous, both by cremation and inhumation, 
and indicate that there must have been a large settlement on 
the spot. In an adjoining pasture field, Mr G. B. Wirrs had 
caused some excavations to be made on the lines of a building 
of which the outline of the walls was traceable under the turf 
of the meadow. It proved to be a building of large size, 
measuring 280 feet in length by 212 feet in width. In front 
extended a corridor 17 feet 6 inches wide. It is difficult to 
determine to what purpose a building of so large dimensions 
could have been appropriated. Whether Roman or not there 
was nothing to show; but it was generally assumed to be a 
Roman work, and in connexion with the adjacent quarries. 
Leaving this—from which they were driven by a sharp storm 
of rain—the party proceeded to the village of Condicote, 
passing on the way Cow Common, with its numerous barrows, 
described by Professor Roxuestone and Canon GREENWELL. 
The church at Condicote proved to be well worth a visit. It 
has been a very pretty little Norman church, much altered at 
different times, but still preserving a very ornamental western 
doorway and chancel arch. Near the village are traces of an 
early circular entrenchment, the vallum of which is now nearly 
levelled, and will soon be undistinguishable. How rich is all 
this district in signs of early occupation! Such is the camp at 
Eubury, which was next visited. This camp is described and 
figured in Vol. VI. of the “Transactions” of the Cotteswold 
Club, by the late G. F. Puaynz, in his valuable pape: on the 
* Ancient Camps of Gloucestershire.” It is strongly fortified, 
and is remarkable for having an outwork so situated and so
