by Professor Paley. A visit was also paid to the " Norman 

 House," upon which remarks and explanations were made by 

 Professor Paley and others. Mr. Edward Hart's fine collection 

 ot British Birds was also visited and deservedly admired. From 

 Christchurch the party went to Bournemouth to luncheon by 

 invitation of the Rev. J. H. West, at Ascham House, after which 

 a very interesting address was given by Mr. West, on the 

 Geology of the Bournemouth Coast, assisted by some excellent 

 diagrams and a fine collection of iossL's. Mr. W. Penney 

 (of Poole), differed from Mr. West's explanation of the silting 

 up of the entrance to Poole Harbour. Thanks were proposed 

 by the Secretary and unanimously accorded to Mr. West for his 

 address and hospitality to the members of the Club on this 

 occasion. A Paper on new and rare British Spiders, with remarks 

 on the formation of. new species, illustrated by drawings, was 

 then read by the Eev. 0. P. Cambridge ; and a " Note on the 

 occurence of the Dotterel" ( Char&driuu morinettus) at Bradford 

 Abbas, was read by Professor Buckman who supposed this to be 

 its first record in Dorsetshire, but Mr. Mansel-Pleydell mentioned 

 at least two or three other occurrences in the County within his 

 own knowledge, though (excepting one) many years ago. Other 

 papers mentioned in the day's programme were deferred from 

 want of time, and a very enjoyable day's work closed.
