attracted attention, and though Oolitic was not recognised by the 
Geologists present as forming any bed in the neighbourhood, 
until an examination of some trenches cut in the meadow land to 
the north of the church revealed a bed some foot or more thick of 
a kind of bastard Oolite admirably adapted for exposed. work, 
from hence the old people who built the Priory derived probably 
most of the material used for their building close at hand. 
The Vicar, Mr. Wadmore, kindly placed his carriage at the 
disposal of the members, and met them at the court ready to 
supply any information as to the recent finds. Some walked back 
to Bristol, others returned to the Bourton station for the 4.5 p-m. 
train to Bath. 
Of the weekly walks the Secretary has little to record, save 
that they have been maintained by a few members with varying 
regularity, probably more with the view of bodily exercise than 
with that of investigating anything in particular connected with 
the objects of the Club. It only remains to add, in conclusion 
that the number of members remains at the usual standard. 
Several vacancies, owing to various causes, removals from Bath 
~ and deaths, have occurred, but new members have been enrolled, 
and the funds are prosperous; so much so that they have 
admitted of the first number, which has long been out of print and 
has constantly been inquired for, being reprinted. The Library 
continues to be enriched with valuable publications of kindred 
societies, and it only remains for some object of interest to arouse 
the abundant energies of the Club into startling activity.
