VOL. XIV.(3) THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS 181 
The first half-day excursion was held at Newnham, on 
Saturday, June 21st, in conjunction with the Cheltenham 
Natural Science Society. The chief attention was given 
to the classic Rheetic section at Garden Cliff, Westbury, 
which was described in detail by Mr Richardson. The 
submerged Peat and Forest Bed was visible, and its main 
points of interest were pointed out. 
On Saturday, July 26th, the Club met for the second 
half-day excursion on Cleeve Hill. Mr Buckman con- 
ducted the party over the successive members of the 
Inferior Oolite. He drew special attention to the quarry 
at the Rolling Bank, as displaying the best section of 
strata which are only found on the Cleeve Hill plateau, 
and pointed out the interesting “ Bored Bed,” explaining 
its nature and significance. 
The attendances at the Winter Meetings have been 
well maintained. The following papers were read :—

At the meeting of March 3rd, Mr Buckman showed and 
commented upon a photograph of the Tortworth Chest- 
nut, taken by the late John Bellows. Other illustrations 
of this ancient tree were exhibited by members, and some 
discussion arose.
