Castle, Here the chief objects of interest in connection with the Roman Camp 

 and with the Castle itself were described by Dr. Taylor of Penrith. The 

 President also made some remarks upon the Countess of Pembroke and other 

 persons connected with the Castle. 



After Tea at the Mission Room, the members again gathered to hear the 

 evening Lecture by Professor Boyd Dawkins, F.R.S., on "Our Early Ances- 

 tors in Britain. " 



The second day's proceedings were commenced at 9-30 a.m. with a Council 

 Meeting ; whereat several matters connected with the management of the 

 Association were discussed. 



At the General Meeting, which followed, the Reports were read and adopted, 

 and the President, the Secretary, and the Editor were re-elected. Then, on 

 the motion of the Editor, the title of the Association was altered to that of the 

 " Cumberland and Westmorland Association for the Advancement of Literature 

 and Science." On the motion of Mr. Vivian, representing the Whitehaven' 

 Society, the Rule VIII. of former years was replaced by the Rule as it stands 

 at present. 



The reading of original papers was begim with Mr. Rawnsley's " Remi- 

 niscences of Wordsworth gathered from the Peasantry," which the audience 

 listened to with unmistakeable interest. At the conclusion of the paper the 

 President gave an account of his own recollections of Wordsworth. This was 

 followed by Mr. J. D. Kendall's "History of Mining in Cumberland and 

 Westmorland, " read in abstract by the Editor. The President followed with 

 a paper by Mr. T. V. Holmes, which gave rise to some discussion. At the 

 close of the last paper, the time being far advanced, the Editor gave a brief 

 outline of the contents of a paper by Mr. J. C. Smith, on "The Rarer Plants 

 around Penrith, " which was followed by a general account of the contents of 

 each of the remaining papers down on the list to be read. Then the meeting 

 dispersed for Luncheon. 



In the Afternoon the members drove out from Penrith to Pooley Bridge, 

 whence they travelled by the steamer to Patterdale, Mr. Goodchild giving a series 

 of short explanations of the principal features of geological interest at inteiTals 

 throughout the journey. At Patterdale such of the party as were not compelled 

 to catch an early train remained a short time to enjoy the unrivalled combination 

 of lake and mountain scenery around ; while'others returned by the next boat — 

 and thus concluded a meeting that was in every respect one of the pleasantest 

 yet held.
