THE FIRST WINTER MEETING. xxix. 



very fine heads, for no deer now killed in the British Isles had 

 horns that approached these in size. In Scotland deer's horn 

 was often to be seen used by the crofters and cottagers as picks. 

 Mr. SOLLY said it would have been interesting if at least a 

 portion of the level chalk floor of the arena could have been left 

 uncovered, instead of it all being covered up again. Captain 

 ACLAND said that, if the committee approved, he would, in the 

 event of further excavations being done next year, ask leave to 

 keep a section of the chalk floor uncovered and railed around. 

 It could be done without any harm, and would be most inter- 

 esting. 



THE ROMAN VILLA AT HEMSWORTH. PAPER BY MR. 

 ENGLEHEART. The Rev. G. H. ENGLEHEART, F.S.A., who 

 superintended the excavation of the Roman villa at Hemsworth, 

 near Wimborne, and the raising of the two beautiful tesselated 

 pavements, read an able and very interesting paper on the 

 subject, illustrated with excellent coloured drawings by Mr. 

 Brumell. (Present Volume, p. i.) 



THE LATE MR. BOSWORTH SMITH. The PRESIDENT made 

 a suitable reference to the great loss which the Club had suffered 

 by the death of Mr. R. Bosworth Smith, of Bingham's Melcombe, 

 one of their most distinguished Vice-Presidents, and he proposed 

 that the Hon. Sec. be asked to write to Mrs. Bosworth Smith 

 and the family conveying a vote of condolence. An obituary 

 notice, together with a portrait, would be published in the forth- 

 coming volume of " Proceedings." The HON. TREASURER, who 

 said he had the pleasure and privilege of knowing Mr. Bosworth 

 Smith as a boy, seconded the vote, and it was duly carried.

THE BURNING CLIFF AND LANDSLIP AT LYME REGIS. A 

 paper on this subject by Mr. A. Jukes-Browne, F.G.S., the 

 eminent geological Member of the Club, was read by the PRESI- 

 DENT, who reminded the gathering that the author was an invalid 

 and could not be present. (Vol. XXIX., p. 153.)
