but somewhat hidden, in the word Derwent. ‘‘ Stanton,” he 
thought, was connected more with a Roman station than a paved 
road ; the word “ Stratton” was more likely to suit the latter 
idea, The remains nearest allied to this were the standing stones

corresponding with ‘‘ De Hauteville’s quoit.” In conclusion he 
ventured upon some theories of his own as to the date being post- 
Roman, and said his views were held by others, whose opinion was 
of weight in these matters. 
Mr. RusseLL DuckwortH concluded the afternoon by some 
“ Hints for a Walking Tour,” as to companions, route, knapsack, 
books, clothes, &c., and elicited several remarks from members in 
reply. The following is an abstract :— 
1. Companion.—Only one, well known, good-tempered, healthy, 
unselfish, plucky, walking one’s own pace. 
2. Route.—Fix some weeks beforehand, not spend half your 
time in getting to starting point. 
3. Knapsack.—Thoroughly waterproof, lock secure against 
thieves and upsetting, broad straps, chest strap, weight well on 
shoulder. 
4. Books.—Note book for Field Club, &c., &c. 
5. Shoes.—Lighier, freer, less confining to perspiration than 
boots. Add short gaiters for sand and wet, sprig nails, old 
evening boots for second pair for in or out of doors in the evening, 
or also instead of slippers. 
6. Short walk the first day.—To get into order. 
7. Socks.—Less bulky than stockings in knapsack, well-fitting, 
soap or oil foot before starting, if sore with walking on the 
previous day. 
8. Shirts.
