not interfered with.

Mr H. Medland enquired as to what steps had been taken con- 
cerning the preservation of the Llanthony Gateway at Gloucester 
(page 204). The Hon. Secretary read the following letter he had 
received from the Hon. Secretary of the Bristol and Gloucestershire 
Archeological Society :—

** Dear Sir. 
‘*T beg to acknowledge the receipt of the resolution 
passed by the Cotteswold Naturalists’ Field Club with refer- 
ence to the threatened destruction of Llanthony Gateway. 
**On Dec. 21st I wrote to the G.W. Railway on the 
subject and received the following reply : 
‘ 22nd Dec., 1908. | 
‘“. . . . am pleased to say that the Company 
have already had the question of the old gateway of 
Llanthony Abbey under their notice. They quite appre- 
ciate the desire from an antiquarian point of view that 
the gateway should not be demolished, and it has been 
arranged for the ruin to remain on the present site, but 
if and when the Company require to use the land on 
which it stands, they will gladly transfer the gateway to 
some responsible body in order that it may be removed 
and preserved. 
‘ Yours faithfully, 
‘(Signed) JAMES C. INGLIS.’ 
‘*T think this is quite satisfactory for the present. 
‘* Yours faithfully, 
‘*M. G. LLOYD BAKER.
