but not in the quantities that might have been expected from the warm 
rains we have lately had. Boletus edulis (Bull) occurred on Maesbury camp 
in fine condition. Boletus elegans (Schum) in the same place; where was 
also Cantharellus aurantiacus (Fr), and Calocera viscosa (fr) on fir stumps, 
and Polyporus destructor (fr) on stumps in a fir plantation near Binegar. 
These constitute the greater part of the fungi noticed. 
Tuesday, Nov. 24.—The members on their return from English- 
combe to Bath passed through Twerton, and arrived just after the 
Twerton Colliery Company had been rewarded in their efforts to 
find coal ; a little black heap of that valuable treasure haying just 
been brought to light that very morning. The total depth of the 
new shaft was at that time 120 yards and the miners had passed 
through thick beds of Lower Lias clays and limestones, about 
eight feet of White Lias and the usual red beds or New Red marl 
overlying the coal. 
Such is the summary of the Club’s collective proceedings during 
the past year. Whether the members have individually done 
their best to carry out the object of the Club, the investigation of 
the Natural History, Geology and Antiquities of the neighbour- 
hood, must be left to their individual consciences to determine. 
That one member, whose genial presence and happy repartee so 
cheering in the long walk but now to be seen and heard no 
more, will be very much missed, is a fact we all must acknowledge 
and sincerely regret.
