Bath, that observations on the temperature, dew-point, rain, &c., 
should continue to be made in the Institution Gardens as hitherto. 
At the end of another ten years there will be occasion to have 
them again reduced as now, and made available for comparison with 
the results put together in this paper. And should additional regis- 
ters be kept in other places in Bath or in the immediate neigh- 
Dbourhood, as it is hoped may be the case—more especially if some 
open spot on the level of the Royal Crescent, of intermediate 
elevation between the lower and higher parts of the town, could 
be obtained for the erection of a meteorological observatory, as 
suggested in my Address to this Club in 1872,—and the whole 
together be carefully examined and compared in their several 
results with what I have attempted to bring out in the present 
instance, we should then be able to fix with greater precision than 
can be attained after only a few years’ observations, and in one 
station alone, the true character of the Bath climate, a matter of 
so much importance to residents as well as visitors, especially to 
those who resort to it on the score of health. But I can never 
hope to undertake any further investigation of the subject myself. 
I leave it to those who come after me. 
On certain Isolated Areas of Mountain Limestone at Luckington and 
Vobster in the County of Somerset. By J. McMurtrig, F.G.S. 
(Read December 9th, 1874.) 
Tn examining geological maps of Somersetshire, most Geologists 
must have observed three remarkable outliers of Mountain Lime- 
| stone, which occur at Luckington and Vobster immediately to the 
_ north of the Mendip hills. Surrounded as they are for the most 
part by coal measures and coal shafts instead of lying far beneath 
them, their abnormal position has long been the subject of curious
