antiquary present to be the only remaining stone of a circle 

 formerly existing here. It was ascertained to be a block of Great 

 Oolite, the same formation as that composing the capping of the 

 hill. The fine tumulus distant two or three fields in a IS. direction 

 was inspected, and a return made to Bath. 



One more pleasant walk remains to be recorded, on 13th Apiil, 

 to Blaize Castle. The 10.45 train was taken to Bristol, thence 

 the tramway to Redland, and a short walk across Durdham Down 

 to the entrance lodge. Owing to the presence of the Eev. E. J. 

 Harford, who accompanied the members, ready admittance was 

 gained to the grounds, and a very pleasant walk led through the 

 picturesque ravine to "Lover's Leap," a spur of Mountain Lime- 

 stone facing " Griant Goram's" Chair. Here spread out on the 

 short turf luncheon was discussed in the bright sunshine. The 

 castellated look-out was mounted, and the Severn and all the 

 surrounding country seen to the greatest advantage in the clear 

 air. The fine earthworks adjoining were perambulated and 

 considered by those present as having originally been formed in 

 a pre-Roman period. The Salisburia in the private gardens 

 attracted much attention, and the grounds were left by way of 

 the Henbury cottages. Before however the members had gone 

 far a very heavy storm of rain overtook them at "Westbury, and 

 somewhat dispersed the party for shelter in various directions. 



It now only remains to conclude this, the fourth and last 

 number of our fourth volume of Proceedings by a statement of 

 the financial condition of the Club. The total receipts for the 

 past year, including a balance from the last account of £29 10s. 7d., 

 have been £76 16s. 7d., and the expenditure £47 Is. Id., thus 

 leaving a balance of £29 15s. 6d. in the Treasurer's hands.
