of the Cotteswolds. At Nailswortli a visit was paid to the grounds 

 of Mrs. Smith and Mr. Tabram. In the garden of the former 

 a section was exhibited of the Supra-Liassic Sands ; and under 

 a hedgerow the " Leopard's-bane " (Doronicum pardalianches) 

 was growing in great abundance, said to be wild, but probably 

 introduced. In the grounds of Mr. Tabram the point of interest 

 was a small ancient Chapel — date, apparently 15th century — 

 still retaining many traces of its former structure, such as the 

 original doorway, portions of the east window, and a piscina in 

 a good state of preservation. Here, also, was a very curious 

 ancient bell, supposed to have been a " Curfew," and said to 

 have been found at Ozleworth. Passing up the hill towards the 

 Common, the Geologists paused to examine the Scar HUl section 

 of Inferior Oolite, and to compare it with the typical section of 

 the same beds at Leckhampton, where they are found 60 feet in 

 thickness; while at Scar Hill they have thinned out to about 

 3 feet. Though this section is not very fossiliferous, it was 

 interesting to notice the hard bed of compact Oolite here, about 

 18 inches thick, bored in every direction by small vertical tubes 

 of Marine Annelids. Leaving Scar Hill, the party proceeded 

 over Minehinhampton Common to Old Lodge, where luncheon 

 was served. By the way Mr. Playne drew attention to the long 

 barrows so plentifully strewn over the plateau, and to the Hues 

 of earthworks which protect the ground on its most exposed 

 face — pointing to the occupation of the position, at some remote 

 period, by rude tribes, of whom these scattered mounds are now 

 the sole records. These barrows might be opened at a small 

 cost, and as the investigation would doubtless throw light upon 

 their origin, it is to be hoped that the Cotteswold Club vsdll devote 

 some portion of their funds to the purpose. At Minehinhampton 

 Church, Mr. Playne exhibited some carefully drawn diagrams 

 of a number of very curious early stone coffin-Hds, discovered 

 in the course of repairs and restorations executed in the church 

 ill 1842. It is most desirable that these memorials should not 

 be lost; and it is proposed to have them engraved for the 

 Transactions of the Club. The south transept, with its fine 

 stone roof and rose window, was much admired, as were the
