170 PROCEEDINGS COTTESWOLD CLUB 1906 
show actually striated rocks. He had a strong supporter 
in Dr C. G. Gullis. The visit to this moraine cannot 
but have interested the Members of a Club which in their 
own district have so few, if any, evidences of the Great Ice 
Age, or one of those ages. After lunch at the Green 
Dragon Hotel, Mr Moore took us kindly in hand and led 
us to one of the most famous libraries in England. The 
collection of chained books, in their original cases, has no

little time was spent in looking at the very curious 
Mappa Mundi, drawn by an old Lincoln monk in the 
13th Century. I think he might have done better if his 
knowledge of geography, however crude it were, had not

to the Public Library and Museum where are the head- 
quarters of our sister society, the Woolhope Club— 
quarters which made us of the Cotteswold Club envious. 
And then, with no sense of fag or time mis-spent, the 
journey home lay before us. 
Thus for the four principal Meetings of the Club. 
Half-day Excursions were made to Cooper’s Hill and the 
Roman Villa there, on June 1oth, on which occasion Mr
