It had been arranged that an engine with some trucks was 
to take the party to Pilning, but an unfortunate block in a 
short tunnel prevented the locomotive from being moved, and 
they had a long walk in a hot sultry afternoon. 
Passing “Over,” where the Millstone Grit and Mountain 
Limestone form an anticlinal with the Coal Measures on the 
opposite side of the cutting, some of the members took car- 
riages to Patchway, while others walked over the tunnel. At 
Patchway the beds are nearly horizontal, and the Rheetic series 
are seen resting on the New Red. At Patchway the train 
was taken to Bristol, and thus was terminated a day full of 
Geological interest. 
THE FOURTH FIELD MEETING 
took place on Tuesday, 25th August, at 
MALVERN. 
The members, led by Mr Lucy in the absence of the President, 
visited the Priory Church, where they were met by Mr Witson, 
President of the Malvern Club, and Mr Nort, who explained 
the Church and its old stained glass windows. After luncheon 
they left for North Malvern quarries, and Mr Lucy described 
the ancient Gneiss there, and told how glacial boulders had 
been found in red “Till,” when excavating at the base of the 
detritus of the great quarry. At Wychcrest, the residence of 
Mr Canniye, the members saw the notable section where the 
“Upper Llandovery”’ beds rest, high up on the flanks of the 
old Sienitic Gneiss, near the pass of the Wych. Here the 
party were joined by Mrs Devas, and the Rev. W. S. Symonps 
and Mrs Symonps; Mrs Devas kindly bringing a basket of 
specimens from her local museum at Colwall, to illustrate the 
Wychcrest section. Among them was a fine slab full of 
Stricklandinia, a characteristic Llandovery fossil. From hence, 
after thanking Mr Cawyrne for his hearty reception, the party 
drove to Wynd’s Point, the residence of M. and Madame Liyp 
Gotpscumipt. Here refreshments had been provided, and were 
partaken of in the beautiful grounds of Wynd’s Point.
