An animated but friendly discussion on the evolution of 
Ammonites followed the reading of this paper. 
The Third Winter Meeting was on February 19th, when 
the Rev. W. Bazeley read a paper “On the Coins of the Ancient 
British, with special reference to those found in Gloucester- 
shire,” a new subject, well treated, as will be seen in our 
Proceedings. 
Mr S. 8. Buckman followed witha paper on “‘The Relations 
of Dundry with the Dorset and Cotteswold Areas for a part of 
the Jurassic Period.” He took exception to the received 
opinion that Dundry was an outlier of the Cotteswold Hills, 
and shewed from Paleontological evidence that the fossils 
found there in the Inferior Oolite agreed more with the 
Somerset and Dorset beds, which agreement he attributed to a 
barrier which for a time during the deposition of the Inferior 
Oolite shut off Dundry from the Cotteswold area. An interest- 
ing discussion arose upon several points brought forward by Mr 
Buckman, but more particularly as to the time when the 
supposed barrier existed. 
The Fourth and last Meeting was held on March 19th, 
when the President read a paper which. will be found in the 
Proceedings, entitled, ‘Some Remarks on the ‘Dapple Bed’ of 
the Inferior Oolite at the Horsepools, and on some Pebbles 
from the Great Oolite at Minchinhampton.” The Hon. Secre- 
tary also gave the outline of a paper “On the Microscopic 
Structure of Local Limestones,” (illustrated by micro-photo- 
graphs as lantern slides, which were admirably shown by Mr G. 
Embrey) a subject to which he has given great attention, and 
when his investigations are completed he has promised to give 
the Club the result of his labours. 
In conclusion, the Field Meetings were well attended; and 
the papers given at our evening meetings were on varied subjects 
and of full average merit. They gave rise to long, but not un- 
duly long, and animated discussion, and it was the general 
opinion that the new feature of the winter meetings of inviting 
members who have objects of interest, to exhibit them after 
the reading of the papers, should be encouraged.
