Annual Address to the Cotteswold Naturalists’ Field Club, read at 
Gloucester, April the 29th, 1890, by the President, 
Mr W. C. Lucy, F.G.S. 
The Annual Meeting was held as usual at the School of 
Science, Gloucester, on Tuesday, April 29th, 1889. 
After the President’s Address, Mr J. H. Jones, the Hon. 
Treasurer, laid before the Meeting the accounts, shewing a 
balance in favour of the Club of £47 11s. 7d., which were 
passed and ordered to be printed. 
Mr Lucy was re-elected President ; and Dr Paine, the 
Rev. Dr F. Smithe, Dr Day, Mr John Bellows, and Professor 
Harker, Vice-Presidents. Mr E. Wethered, Hon. Secretary, 
and Mr J. H. Jones, Hon. Treasurer, were also re-elected. 
Great regret was expressed at the absence of Dr Paine 
and Dr Day—both from ill-health. 
The Field Meetings for the year were fixed :— 
Tytherington and Thornbury ... May 28th

Professor Harker read a paper on “‘ Remarkable Occurrence 
at Sharpness of the Eggs of Tetranychus lapidus,” an Acarine 
Arachnoid observed by Mr W. B. Clegram, and which is 
published in the last number of the Proceedings, p. 396. 
There was a large gathering at the dinner at the “ Bell 
Hotel,” and after the President had proposed the usual toast of 
“The Queen,” Professor Harker requested permission to make 
a departure from the Cotteswold rule, and he proposed, in a 
very kind manner, the health of the President, who feelingly 
replied.
