THIRD MEETING, AUGUST 19iH, 1834. 



The President and Secretary with about 12 other members 

 met at Wey mouth, at Cook's Restaurant, the short attendance 

 being due to a most tempestuous morning. Mr. T. B. Grove's 

 paper on the Chesil Beach was postponed in the absence of the 

 Author at the British Association Meeting, at Montreal, Canada. 

 The President therefore read a paper on the Phenomena of Port- 

 land and its neighbourhood including the leading features of 

 the District. The weather clearing up the party then proceeded 

 to inspect a Barrow newly opened by Mr. Cunnington, at Upwey, 

 on the property of Mr. Goodden ; three or four skeletons and 

 two urns of great interest being brought to light. A paper was 

 read here by Mr. Cunnington on his excavations at Maiden 

 Castle, illustrated by drawings executed by Miss Cunnington. 

 Among the objects then recorded was a Bronze of a Knight, 

 curiously ornamented. On the return to "Weymouth, a paper by 

 Dr.Yv. Smart, on the " Bockley or Bokerly D}-ke,"was accepted 

 for publication in the Club's Proceedings ; as also was another by 

 the Rev. 0. P. Cambridge, on " Megalithic Remains at Poxwell, 

 Dorset," illustrated by a water-colour sketch by Mr. F. 0. P. 

 Cambridge. The Secretary" then read a paper on ' Sphcerella 

 Taxi," a new fungus attacking Yew Trees, and this brought the 

 day's proceedings to a close. 



An Obituary notice, and portrait of our lamented 

 Secretary, PROFESSOR BUCKMAN (whose unexpected 

 decease we have to deplore in the midst of his 

 editorial work on the present volume) will appear in 

 vol. vii. O.P.C.
