BY CAPTAIN A. RICKARDS : 



(1) A fossil Crustacean found in a bay nine miles west of Torquay. 



(2) A fine two-handled bronze pot with three feet, dredged up in the German 

 Ocean. At the British Museum it was believed to be Irish, and more than 1,000 

 years old. Presented to the Dorset County Museum.

BY THE Hox. SECRETARY : 



(4) Pomegranates brightly coloured and ripe, or very nearly so, grown on a 

 south wall at Montevideo, Chickerell, fully exposed, and picked in Dec., 1899. 

 The tree had been planted about 10 years, and flowered every year, often 

 profusely, but this was the first year in which it had borne fruit. He believed 

 the occurrence was unusual in England. He also exhibited photographs of the 

 pomegranates on the tree, and of a plant of Aralia Sieboldi in flower in his 

 garden. 



BY THE CURATOR OF THE MUSEUM : 



(5) Four casts of the jaw of Mcyalosauriis Bucklamli in Sherborne School 

 Museum. The casts are beautifully made, and have been recently purchased for 

 the Museum. The original was found in the neighbourhood of Sherbonie in the 

 Freestone of the Inferior Oolite, and was reported on by Professor Owen as being 

 of great value, no such perfect specimen being in the British Museum. See 

 Proc. V., p. 144, and XII., p. xxvii.
