(4) Dr. Colley March exhibited some stone implements which, as far as he 

 knew, were unrepresented in any of the Museums. He went into Pembrokeshire 

 last summer in order to examine the evidence of glaciation there, for the 

 glaciatiou of South Wales had a strong bearing upon any supposed glaciation 

 of Dorset. Glacial striae had been discovered by Professor Hicks on the rocks 

 at St. David's Head. They ran from the north-west to the south-east, and it 

 was thought that the ice sheet that caused them came from Ireland, and at the 

 point of transit was at least a thousand feet thick. Dr. March was able to expose 

 a mass of igneous rock, and found striations pointing in the direction of Preselly 

 Mountain, and proving the occurrence of a secondary local glaciation. He was 

 at first disappointed on finding only a few flint implements, when he had expected 

 to come home laden with them. It should be remembered, however, that no flint 

 was procurable in that region except a little in the drift. But after a while he 

 began to find implements made of the igneous rocks of Pembrokeshire. Glacial 

 striae can be detected on some of the unflaked surfaces, but none elsewhere. 

 This is evidence that the implements, though they are very rude, are neolithic. 

 All this in his mind had reference to a glaciation of Dorset. He had been told 

 by objectors to his theory that in Dorset there were 110 scratched stones, no 

 grooved stones, and no erratics. Now all these had been found. If there were 

 any flint collectors present he asked them to look out for implements of green - 

 sand chert, because they might have some bearing upon the question of the 

 glaciation. In his neighbourhood there were hill fortresses with pit dwellings, 

 and some things of great interest had been discovered which should be brought 

 before the club next winter.

(5) Papal seal of Clement V. (Bernard de Goth), who ruled from 1305 to 1314. 

 He removed the Papal chair to Avignon and suppressed the Order of the Templars. 

 For an account of him see Milman's " History of Latin Christianity," book xii., 

 chap. i.-v. Dante (Inferno XIX., 82-84) places him among the simoniacal, and 

 calls him the " lawless shepherd."

The other side reads SPA SPE (SANCTUS PAULVS SANCTUS PETBUS) above their 

 traditional portraits. 



This seal was found about 1866 in an ironmonger's shop at Bridport, and is 

 now in the possession of Mr. James Balls, Bridport.

(6) The following letter, sent by Mr. Solly to the Secretary, was read : 



" I write to you to convey a small piece of information which I have just received 

 respecting the octagon on the summit of Eggardon Hill. Mr. S. Wrixon, of 

 King's Farm, whose father was bom there in 1810, tells me that his father told 

 him that the octagonal ditch and bank were made to protect a plantation of 

 young trees. This is intrinsically probable, and from one point of view the linos
