our Club should also lie dormant during the war, but the plan 

 did not commend itself to the majority of those present at the 

 meeting at which I spoke of it. I regret to say that we 

 have lost by death 8 of our members, as well as one Honorary 

 Member. Amongst them are two of our few remaining 

 original members, Rev. Octavius Pickard-Cambridge and 

 Dr. John Moor head. Mr. Cambridge was a Fellow of the 

 Royal Society and one of our most distinguished members. 

 There is hardly a volume amongst the 37 of our Proceedings 

 that does not bear testimony to what he has done for the 

 Club, and for science generally, and this is not confined to 

 his numerous and valuable papers on his special subject of 

 spiders, on which he w r as one of the greatest living authorities, 

 but we find also papers from his pen upon Botanical, Zoologi- 

 cal, Archaeological, and other matters. He acted as Treasurer 

 for many years, at a time when the Club managed to exist 

 and flourish without any printed rules, and it was owing 

 to his initiative that those we at present possess came into 

 existence. I could not possibly do justice to him here, but 

 must refer you to a notice of him which will appear elsewhere 

 in this volume. He was one of my oldest friends in Dorset, 

 and I have many pleasant memories to look back upon in 

 connection with him. Dr. Moorhead, another old friend, was 

 more connected with the Club in its earlier days. He was 

 much interested in Geology, especially that of the neighbour- 

 hood of Weymouth, but his life was such a busy one in regard 

 to his profession, that he had but little time to cultivate his 

 favourite science. His long and successful connection with 

 the Weymouth Royal Hospital is well known. Of the others 

 whose loss I have to record, Lady Williams is the oldest 

 member, having joined in 1884. She and her husband have 

 always taken great interest in the Field Club and in the Dorset 

 County Museum, which owes much to his help and support. 

 Many of those present will remember our Meetings at 

 Bridehead, and the kind hospitality shown to us by our 

 hosts. Mr. George Clavell Filliter, who joined in 1889, was 

 very helpful when the Club visited Wareham, which it has
