VOL. XV. (3) THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS 169 
by us, and to the delight of many of us, a capture of 
certain out-of-the-way spiders or mites—7etranychus 
lapidum—was made in the Limestone Quarry by that 
well-known entomologist, Mr Watkins, of Painswick, who 
happened to be the guest of one of our Members. More

The number of Members attending was most satisfactory. 
We first visited a Glacial moraine, or rather—though 
I speak under correction—the remains of one, much 
redistributed by subsequent river-action. Our able guide 
was the Rev H. E. Grindley, its discoverer. Here there 
was a good deal of discussion, far more than, in late years 
at any rate, usually takes place at any exposure or section. 
Undoubtedly there were sceptics, and perhaps such they 
would have remained, had not Mr Grindley been able to
