VOL. XIV.(2) THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS 83 
This Table has not appeared in our Proceedings before, 
and in fact the sequence of strata has only been made out 
quite lately. We saw in the Chedworth cutting the 
Upper Ragstones resting directly on the Notgrove Free- 
stone ; and there or elsewhere in the day’s excursion we 
saw the other beds. But we saw no Middle Ragstones any-

Hill, as our Secretary has shewn. 
The party drove back to Cheltenham after tea at the 
Mill Inn. 
For our Winter Meetings there has been no lack of 
material. The following papers were read :— 
The Rhetic Rocks of the Tewkesbury District, by L. 
Richardson, F.G.S. 
A Visit to the Giants Causeway and its Neighbourhood,

So-called “False Bedding” in Oolitic Rocks, by C. 
Callaway, D.Sc. 
- Customs and Lore of a Swiss Village, by Canon E. C. 
Scobell. 
The Rhetic Rocks of the Gloucester District, by L. 
Richardson, F.G.S. 
Folk-Lore : What it is; and what is the good of it? by

And, besides these papers, many interesting objects and 
lantern slides have been shewn by our members. 
To Mr Hartland, since he is not one of our members, our 
special thanks are due for his very interesting address. 
Some of these papers will be found in our Proceedings, 
with others, which had, unfortunately, to be held over 
from our last Volume for want of space ; and with some
