 A walk across the valley, under the guidance of J. E. 

 DoKRiNGTON, Esq., brought the party to Lypiatt, an ancient 

 manor-house which, after passing through the hands of many 

 proprietors, was purchased by the present possessor from the 

 late Samuel Bakee, father of the now celebrated traveller and 

 Nile-explorei*, Sir Samuel White Baker. 



From Lypiatt the Geologists of the party proceeded to Swift's 

 Hill, where they examined the well-known section of the Inferior 

 Oolite at the quan*ies there, and a new section of the Cephalopoda 

 beds at the foot of the hill. 



The party dined at Stroud, at the Imperial Hotel. 

 After dinner, Mr. Witchell exhibited some fine specimens of 

 lobster-Hke Crustaceans, found by him in the Middle Lias at 

 the Stroud Gas Works. 



The President read a paper by Mr. Etheeidge, describing the 

 section at Portskewet referred to by Mr. John Jones in a letter 

 read at the Stanton meeting of the Club. In that letter the 

 writer referred to the possibility that the beds in question might 

 prove to be Permian, a view which he was not alone in holding. 

 It had therefore become an interesting point for investigation, 

 and with that object your President and Mr. Etheeidge had 

 visited the locality; and the paper by Mr. Etheeidge showed 

 most conclusively that the supposed Permian fossils belonged to 

 the Carboniferous Limestone, and that no beds of Permian age 

 were to be found at the spot indicated.
