its park and precincts, and the woods of Mendip lodge filling up 
the foreground on the left hand. Here Mr. Scarth-gave a short 
description of the places of note within sight, the associations 
connected with them and the ancient line of Roman road 
which passed through the Mendip mining country from Brean 
Down all the way to Old Sarum, and thence to Clausentum, or 
Bittern, thus connecting the Severn with the Southampton 
Water. Along this road the mineral traffic is supposed to have 
been carried in Roman times. The line of other Roman roads 
still traceable were pointed out; as ¢.g., that which seems to have 
passed from the great camp called Dolebury, not more than a 
mile and a half from Burrington camp, to Cadbury camp, near 
Clevedon, thence to Tickenham, and on to Portbury where are 
also remains of Roman earth-works. Having inspected the 
_ traces of ancient mining still visible in the hills the party passed 
on to the Vicarage, where they were most kindly received by the 
vicar, the Rev. W. B. de Moleyns ; and from thence past Lang- 
ford Court to the Inn at Langford where dinner had been 
provided. Afterwards a brief account was given of the latest 
discoveries of Roman remains in the mining district of the 
Mendip, and the thanks of the club were conveyed to the two 
gentlemen who had so kindly guided and refreshed the excur- 
sionists. The ‘breaks’ were then ordered and the party returned 
to Bristol by way of Wrington, where they paused to see the 
beautiful church and examine the lych-gate, lately erected at the 
eastern entrance of the churchyard, the plan and details of which 
were highly approved. Bath was reached at half-past nine after 
a very successful excursion. 
Clevedon and Walton Castle-—The second Excursion was on 
June 2nd, when fourteen members with three visitors proceeded 
by rail to Clevedon, where they were met by the Rev. G. Weare 
Braikenridge, and at once started in various vehicles for Cadbury 
Camp. Passing on the way Clevedon Court, a pretty glimpse of 
which was caught through the fine trees and shrubs which surround
