VOL. XVI. (2) THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS 93 
more than-made amends for any discomforts in the earlier 
part of the year. The change in the weather made the 
large number of representatives of the Club who attended 
this excursion doubly appreciative of the kind offices of 
the gentlemen who so kindly acted as their cicerones. 
With the Rev. W. M. D. La Touche to act as our guide 
to all the places of geological interest at Ludlow, and with 
Mr H. T. Weyman as the exponent of all the points of 
ecclesiastical and archzological interest in its Castle and 
Church, the Club enjoyed a day of exceptional pleasure. 
A cap was put to this the next day by the excursion 
to Church Stretton, where Mr E. S. Cobbold took us 
under his care, and conducted us to the quarry at the foot 
of Little Caradoc, whence he gave a résumé of the work 
on which the fame of our esteemed colleague, Dr C. 
Callaway, so securely rests. 
In September, at Chipping Campden, we were again 
fortunate in seeing the treasures of the place unveiled by 
those who were best acquainted with them. Mr Carrington, 
the Vicar, was our kindly guide to the Church, and Mr C. 
R. Ashbee told us of the history of the more important of 
the other buildings in the town, and among them that of 
his own house, which we visited. On leaving Campden, 
Mr J. M. Dixon took us to Meon Hill to study its objects 
of antiquarian interest, and afterwards to his house, where 
his hospitality was much appreciated. 
Our Winter Meetings have certainly in no way fallen 
short of the usual standard, and the interest excited by 
them has attracted an attendance, even in most unfavour- 
able weather, which was far above that of former years. 
But the number of those present has doubtless been 
in part due to the energy of our Hon. Secretary, who was 
able, before the season began, to issue a complete pro- 
gramme of the Lectures in view. We have to thank 
Professor S. H. Reynolds, M.A., F.G.S., for a lecture on
