VOL. XV. (3) | THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS 171 
Cullis most kindly gave tea to a numerous company ; 
and to Leckhampton Hill, on July 8th. I cannot help 
thinking that these minor Meetings have a very real pur- 
pose and tend to the strengthening of the Club. 
And now a word or two about our Winter Meetings, 
the last of which was held but a fortnight ago. They 
have been well attended and many interesting specimens 
were exhibited at them, notably several geological ones 
brought from Cyprus by Col. Duke, and those collected by 
Mr Upton in Labrador. Our Secretary, Mr Winwood, 
and many others, were also good enough to exhibit to us 
botanical, geological, and other specimens. 
I was not myself able to remain in Gloucester a longer 
time than would suffice for me to attend the Council 
Meeting on January 9th, so I missed hearing the valuable 
lecture by Mr Vincent Smith, upon “Pygmy Flints.” 
When anyone is ready to discourse upon a subject about 
which so little is known, our best thanks are due to him, 
and I am thankful that in my absence so capable a Chair- 
man as Mr Winwood was present to render those thanks 
to Mr Vincent Smith. 
Professor C. Lloyd Morgan, F.R.S., found time to come 
here on February 20th, to give us one of those charmingly 
lucid lectures of his upon “Instinct.” None of those 
who heard him can have gone away with other than a 
mind illuminated. The subject is notoriously a dark one, 
and without guidance one may get easily beyond his 
depth. Professor Lloyd Morgan having promised to give 
us his opinion as to where Instinct ended and Reason 
began, in another lecture, our gratitude to him was sincere, 
based as it was (for in this all gratitude is said to consist) 
upon a keen sense of favours to come. 
Our last Meeting afforded us an opportunity of hearing 
a very short abstract of a paper by our former Secretary, 
Mr Buckman, upon the species of Liassic Ammonite
