hill, the members visited the banks of the Severn, near the 
Rea brook, where Mr T. S. Ellis expounded his theory of 
river curves, and some discussion arose. On the hill, Mr 
Richardson gave an account of its structure, pointing out 
to the party that in ascending they passed from the Lower 
Lias over the Marlstone and a gentle slope formed by the 
clays of the Upper Lias to the sczsswm-beds, the basement 
of the Inferior Oolite, capping the hill. Evidence of the 
Cotteswold Sands was also observed. 
On Saturday, July 11th, the second half-day Excursion 
was made to Churchdown. A sand-pit in the village was 
first examined. -On the summit, Mr Richardson called 
attention to the Marlstone capped by a few feet of Upper 
Lias, the strata thus being more deeply denuded than — 
in Robins’ Wood Hill. Mr J. Sawyer was kind enough to 
show to the Club the most interesting points in the 
Church. A pleasant afternoon was concluded with tea at 
Barrow Hill, by the hospitable kindness of Mr and Mrs 
J. H. Jones.
