Summary of Proceedings of the Bath Natural History and 

 Antiquarian Field Club far the year 1866. 



(Bead Fchnmry 2Zrd, 18G7.J 



Mr. President, Vice-President, and Gentemen, 



In preparing a summary of the proceedings of the Club during, 

 the past year, your Secretary has been considerably embarrassed 

 Avith the amount of material before him, rendering it 

 somewhat difficult to form a summary adequately representing 

 the work accomplished. Taking the events of the past year, 

 however, in the order of then- importance, he j^roposes, in the 

 first place, to give an abstract of the papers and communications 

 made at the various Evening Meetings ; secondly, to give an 

 account of the four chief Excursions ; and lastly, of the Tuesday 

 or home walks, and other business.
