4 PROCEEDINGS COTTESWOLD CLUB 1907 
carefully planned by our Hon. Secretary in such a manner 
as to embrace a very varied programme of subjects of 
geological interest. 
Nor can I omit to record our indebtedness to the 
scientists who have at different times responded to our 
invitation to meet our Club in the field and here in 
Gloucester. Professor Charles Lapworth, LL.D., F.R.S., 
was kind enough to accompany us in our expedition to the 
Lickey, and to unravel to us the secret of the geological 
composition of the hill, and of the distant features of the 
panorama seen from its summit. In the winter session we 
were so fortunate as again to listen to Prof. Lloyd Morgan, 
who gaye a most interesting lecture on “ Organic Selection.” 
And the lecture by Mr Northcote on “ Protozoa,” excited 
the hope that we might have the pleasure of hearing him 
again. 
At our last Annual Meeting, our past President, the 
Rey. W. Butt, spoke of the steps which had been taken, on 
his initiation, to prepare material for the publication of 
a County Flora; and expressed his confidence that, under 
the editorship of the Rey. H. P. Reader, and with the as- 
sistance of the Committee which had been appointed, the 
work would be carried through on exhaustive lines, and 
upon a scientific basis. The work which has since that 
date been done must, I think, have cheered him in the 
long illness which we all deeply regret, with the assurance 
that the scheme which he has close at heart is being 
developed as thoroughly as he would desire. The County 
has been divided into three sections—(a) the Bristol and 
Forest of Dean district, (b) the Cotteswold region, (c) the 
Vale of Gloucester; and Mr Priestley, Mr Coley and Miss 
Laurie have consented to act as local Secretaries for the 
botanists working on these different sections. It has been 
decided to treat the subject on ecological lines. Six-inch 
Ordnance-maps are being used for the mapping-out of the
