must refer for the solution of certain problems, and for the 

 connecting links in time and space which are wanting in our 

 own thinner but not less important sections. 



A paper was next read by Professor Buckman, "On some 

 Flints found near Bradford Abbas." This paper had reference 

 to certain flints bearing evidence of man's handicraft, which 

 had been picked up on the surface of the Professor's farm in 

 Dorsetshire, and was illustrated by well-executed representa- 

 tions of the various forms imder which these articles present 

 themselves.

 should be ex-officio Vice-Presidents. T. B. Ll. Bakek, Esq.,

The First Field Meeting of the Club was held at Stroud, on 

 Wednesday, 24th of May. I was myself unavoidably absent on 

 this occasion, and am indebted to our Secretary for a report of 

 the proceedings of the day. 



The members assembled at the Midland Eailway Station at 

 Stonehouse, shortly before 11 a.m., and first proceeded to inspect 

 some objects of interest at Stonehouse Coui't, where they were 

 ^et by Mr. Henky Makling, who afibrded them every informa- 

 tion. The party then separated: some of the Geologists, headed 

 by Mr. Witchell, taking their course for the quarries on 

 Doverow Hill, where the sections exhibit the "Cynocephala 

 stage" of Dr. Lycett. The other detachment made their way 

 across the fields to Stanley St. Leonards, and spent two hours 

 very pleasantly, inspecting the ancient and interesting church in 

 that village, with the remains of the old priory in the manor- 

 house adjoining. Here they were met by the Rev. D. Jones, 

 incumbent of Leonard Stanley, who most obligingly gave all the 

 information in his power.
