 preservation of all antiquities and to prevent, as far as 

 possible, the removal of scarce plants and the extermina- 

 tion of rare species of flora or fauna. 



It will interest the members to know that on the lOth 

 November last the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall 

 awarded to Professor Etheridge, an honorary member of 

 our Club, the Bolitho Medal. The honour was all the 

 greater, as Professor Etheridge is the first recipient of 

 the distinction. 



Another member of our Club has recently been 

 honoured by the Geological Society, Mr S. S. Buckman 

 having received the award of the Murchison Fund for this 

 year, chiefly in recognition of his researches in the 

 Geology of the Cotteswolds. 



This year being the Jubilee of the Club, it was decided 

 to repeat, as far as possible, the programme of the first 

 meeting of the Club, which was held at Birdlip on July 

 7th, 1846.
