VOL. XIV. (3) THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS 179 
The Hon. Secretary, I am glad to say, has been able to 
discharge his editorial duties. The last number of our 
Proceedings well maintains the reputation of the Club, 
both in matter and style of publication. The reproduc- 
tions from photographs constitute a very valuable feature. 
A portrait of our former President, Mr M. W. Colchester- 
Wemyss, forms an appropriate frontispiece. 
During the past year the Club has held four Field 
Meetings and two half-day excursions, all of which have 
been well attended. 
The first Field Meeting was held at Woolhope, on 
Thursday, May 15th. The members met at Mordiford, for 
the study of the Woolhope domical anticline. The 
Woolhope Limestone at Littlehope was first examined, 
and the structure of the dome was afterwards observed 
from Backbury Camp. After the physical geology of the 
district had been described by the President, Mr T. 
Mellard Reade, author of ‘The Origin of Mountain 
Ranges,’ explained his views of the origin of the dome-like 
structure. At the luncheon, Dr H. Cecil Moore, Hon. 
Secretary of the Woolhope Field Club, gave the local 
version of the legend of the Green Dragon of Mordiford, 
and Mr Sidney Hartland, author of ‘The Legend of 
Perseus,’ and Past-President of the Folklore Society, cited 
parallel legends from other localities. The Club is much 
indebted to the above-named visitors for their contribu- 
tions to the interest of the Meeting. 
The second Field Meeting was held in the Tewkesbury 
District, on Tuesday, June 10th. The journey to 
Tewkesbury and back was taken on the Severn. The 
origin of river-curves was discussed in relation to the bend 
at the confluence with the Chelt at Wainlode, and Mr 
Richardson described the well-known Rhetic section at
