N pursuance of one of the objects of the society, that of 
visiting the most interesting spots throughout the county, 
a numerous party made an excursion in the month of June 
to Hamdon Hill, whose geological structure and ancient 
quarries were as attractive to the naturalist, as were its 
Roman remains to the archaeologist. They afterwards 
partook of the hospitality of W. Phelips, Esq. at Montacute 
House, well known as one of the best remaining specimens 
of Elizabethan domestie architecture. In the absence of 
Mr. Phelips, on the continent, the honours of the house 
were worthily done by hisrelative, Mr. Helyar, of Poundis- 
ford Lodge. 
The motto over the gate-way, so characteristic of the 
“oood old English gentleman,” was not dishonoured on 
this occasion. 
“ Through this wide opening gate, 
None come too early, none return too late.”
