First fought his first battle with his people. Layamon, the

SECOND FIELD MEETING. 
The second Field Meeting took place on Tuesday, 25th June— 
a fine sunny day—when between forty and fifty members of 
the Club assembled at the Gloucester Station, on their way 
to Symonds’ Yat, in the Forest of Dean. At this point the 
party quitted the railway, and ascended the hill by the steep 
path to the summit of the rock, which towers precipitously 
above the Wye, and commands the extensive and well-known
