 interest the botanist. The foUowing were found by Mr. 

 Babington, and the Rev. T. Hugo : Poljpodium calcareum, 

 Cystopteris fragilis, Thalutrum minus, and Dianthus coesius. 



At Cheddar a cold coUation was furnished by Mr. Cox, 

 at the close of which Mr. Dickinson, the President, ex- 

 pressed his gratification at the success which had attended 

 the meeting, and conveyed the thanks of the Society to 

 Mr. Freeman, who had very mach contributed to the in- 

 terest of the proceedings, and whom he hoped to see again 

 next year. 



The Kev. F. Warre, as the senior officer of the Society, 

 thanked Mi". Dickinson for his kindness in presiding. He 

 had been Secretary nearly nine years, and without a word 

 of disparagement to any other gentleman, he could safely 

 say that never had the Society had a better President. 



Mr. Dickinson acknowledged the compliment, and said 

 that the success of the meeting was greatly attributable to 

 the Secretaries (Rev. F. Warre and Rev. W. A. Jones), 

 to whom he feit personally obliged for their exertions. 



The proceedings of the Annual Meeting were then 

 formally closed. 



After the dinner, however, several of the Company went 

 into Mr. Cox's cavern, the stalactites of which are remark- 

 ably curious and beautiful. 



And in returning, the Church at Rodney Stoke was ex- 

 amined, the Rev. G. H. Fagan attending and receiving the 

 visitors. It contains a mural chapel of the Rodney family, 

 with monuments of the date of James I. and Charles I. 

 There is also a rood screen (post- Reformation), which was 

 characterised as unique, and a pulpit to match. The arcbi- 

 tecture is Late Perpendicular. 



In consequence of the lateness of the hour, it was found 

 impossiblc to visit Wookey Hole, and its celebrated cavern.
