4 PROC. COTTESWOLD CLUB vol. xiii. 



The Palaeontographical Society has pubHshed Part X. 

 of the " Monograph on Inferior Oohte Ammonites," by 

 Mr S. S. Buckman, wherein many of our local fossils are 

 figured and described. 



Mr Arthur Gibbs has written an interesting work, 

 entitled, " A Cotswold Village," which is published by 

 John Murray ; and I would call particular attention to a 

 paper, full of local references, by Mr S. S. Buckman, "On 

 the Development of Rivers ; and particularly the Genesis 

 of the Severn." It is published in Natural Science, 

 vol. xiv., April, 1899. 



It is evident, therefore, that we can congratulate our- 

 selves. Our members are doing their best to maintain 

 the prestige of the Club. 



Concerning what has been accomplished by the Club 

 in the way of meetings and scientific work during the 

 past season, I give the following formal account. 



The Annual Meeting was held at the School of Science, 

 Gloucester, on May 16, 1898. The President read his 

 Address, which is printed in Vol. XII., p. 197. The 

 Treasurer read his financial statement. The President 

 and the Vice-Presidents were re-elected. Mr A. S. Helps, 

 who resigned the office of Secretary, was appointed 

 Treasurer, and Mr S. S. Buckman was elected to the 

 Secretaryship. Mr J. H. Jones, the late Hon. Treasurer, 

 and Mr C. Bowly were elected Vice-Presidents. 



The places selected for the summer meetings were — 

 Chepstow and Tintern ; 

 The vicinity of Bath ; 

 Silchester ; 

 Woodchester and Avening. 



A vote of condolence with the family of Mr W. C. 

 Lucy was proposed by Mr William Leigh and seconded 

 by Mr W. Stanton, and carried ; as also was a vote of 

 thanks to Mrs Cornford for the gift to the Club of the 

 cabinet of fossils collected by her late husband.
