in the vale at Frampton, which clay he believed was once on 
higher ground, and by the weathering of the friable Oolite 
rocks had been brought into its present position.

Mr. Lucy further pointed out the undoubted evidence of ice 
action, as shown at Limbury, near Hartpury, and at Aston 
Magna, and other parts of the Upper Cotteswolds, and explained 
that striations were not found in the Gloucester area because 
of the soft character of the Oolitic rocks. 
Mr. Lucy likewise mentioned a second boulder clay which he 
had found in many places in the Valley of the Severn, and then 
referred to the eroded surface upon which the gravels in the 
valley rest, which is well shown at the Cliff at Sharpness Point, 
and which he had traced beyond Tewkesbury. He quoted from 
a paper by Mr. Cuartes Moors, in the Quarterly Journal of the 
Geological Society for December, 1867, in which he states that 
“in the neighbourhood of Bath wherever the drifts are passed 
through they are found to lie on the upper blue marls of the 
Lower Lias, which present long lines of furrows channelled out 
either by glacial action or the effects of post-pliocene erosion.” 
Mr. Lucy said he had noticed the same thing in Berkshire, 
Kent, Norfolk, and in the Isle of Wight, and expressed a 
confident opinion that in these planed-off surfaces he had found 
a starting point which would enable him to correlate the gravels 
of this district with those of other parts of England, a work 
which is now occupying his attention. 
A paper was then read by Professor Bountesr, of the Royal 
Agricultural College, Cirencester, in which he developed a plan 
for the preparation of a flora for the county, founded in some 
respects on the plan followed in Warson’s Oybele Britannica. 
He proposed to divide the province into twelve districts, each 
distinguished by some local peculiarity—whether “ marshy,” 
“pastoral,” “arable,” “hilly,” &c., as the case may be—and 
he invited co-operation from all possessed of botanical know= 
ledge or herbaria.
