Ozleworth is of singular interest from its peculiar arcliitectural 

 characters — " Norman " and " Transition " of a most unusual, 

 if not unique type. The chancel-arch, and the north porch 

 both present features of rare occurrence. Nothing is more 

 remarkable than the fact of the early establishment of churches 

 by the Normans in the remote Cotteswold valleys, pointing 

 to the comparative wealth and density of population in those 

 times ; but it is difficult to account for the elaborate beauty of 

 the work at Ozleworth. The walking party here joined their 

 fellows, and the whole proceeded to discuss a capital luncheon 

 which Mr. Pritchett had kindly provided; after which they 

 went on to Wotton-under-Edge, where dinner was served at 

 the White Lion. 



After dinner Dr. Weight gave a most interesting resume of 

 a paper, which will appear in the published Transactions of our 

 Club, " On the Correlation of the Jurassic Rocks of the Cote d'Or 

 (France), with formations of the same age in the Counties of 

 Gloucester and Wilts." The Doctor, who had been turning to 

 good account a short vacation during the summer, had visited 

 the district in question where he had the advantage of being the 

 guest of Monsieur Jules Martin, at Dijon, a former correspon- 

 dent, and author of an important Monograph on the Infra-Lias 

 of the Department of the Cote d'Or. As much misapprehension 

 exists as to the true age, j)osition, and character of the beds 

 described under the name " Infra- Lias," the Doctor desired to 

 make an attentive study of the fossils collected therefrom by 

 Monsieur Martin, many of which he had figured and described 

 for the purpose of ascertaining to what stage of our Liassic 

 series they aj)pertained. 



Monsieur Martin received him most kindly, and gave him 

 every facility for studying the same ; and it was the result of 

 this examination which he now proposed to communicate to the 

 Club. Dr. Weight read a letter from M, Martin in which 

 that savant gave a detailed account of the different formations 

 developed in the Cote d'Or, with the leading Fossils contained 

 in each stage, for the more perfect identification of the forma- 

 tions commencing with the Avieula-contorta-heds which are very
