the British Museum, Cromwell Road, on ‘“ William Smith, the 
Father of British Geology.” It is published at the commence- 
ment of these Proceedings, with a portrait of William Smith, the 
first discoverer of Stratigraphical Geology. This meeting was 
followed on December 18th by a second, whereat Mr. Wallace 
Gill gave to the Club an account of an ancient Dovecot belonging 
to the Carthusian Monks at Witham, which he had discovered 
when making structural alterations in some cottages. At the 
same meeting the Vic2-President, Rev. C. W. Shickle, exhibited 
some Roman coins discovered on the site of the former brewery 
‘in Bathwick Street. Both papers appear in these Proceedings. 
Mr. T. Frederic Inman, Vice-President, contributed, on January 
15th, 1902, a very interesting paper on “ The Elm, with a notice 
of some remarkable varieties in Victoria Park, Bath,” and the 
season was closed on February 12th, by a learned paper by Rev. 
T. W. Whale, on “ The Principles of the Somerset Domesday.” 
The Library of the Field Club has been materially increased 
during the year, both by the published Proceedings of the Smith- 
sonian Institution of the U.S.A., and of the various Societies 
with which our Club is in exchange of Proceedings. Many gifts 
_ have also been made to the Library during the year, and have 
been thankfully accepted. The number of Members has been 
considerably reduced, and it is to be hoped that renewed interest 
will be taken in the Excursions and some new members added to 
our ranks.
