the very fine example of a Roman Amphora which he discovered in the 

 Backwater at Weymouth. The Amphora is now preserved in the County 

 Museum, and is one of the finest in the country. This paper, with an 

 illustration, will be found at p. 88 of this volume. The President then 

 read a paper on the subject of a Roman Well which had been discovered 

 on his property at Winterborne Kingston some months previously. This 

 paper is given at p. 1. Several objects which were discovered in the 

 well were exhibited on the table, amongst which were the series of 

 Roman coins, of which a plate is given in the paper, and several fragments 

 of Roman pottery and various bronze ornaments. The paper led to a 

 discussion. Colonel Solly then exhibited various Shakespearian relics 

 that formerly were the property of David Garrick, and which came into 

 his possession through the executor of Garrick. The subject of printing 

 a set of schedules for recording observations in Natural History for 

 distribution throughout the County was then introduced by the 

 Secretary. After some discussion the proposal w r as agreed to, and a 

 sub-committee, consisting of the President, Treasurer, Messrs. E. Bankes, 

 Moule, and Richardson, together with the Secretary, were appointed to 

 decide upon the most suitable form of schedule for the requirements of 

 the County. 



An adjournment for luncheon was then made at 2 p.m., after which 

 an addendum to the paper on Badbury Rings, by Dr. Wake-Smart, was 

 read. This will be found incorporated with the former paper in the 

 present volume. A paper on " Histionotus Angularis," by the President, 

 was then read by the Secretary. The fine example of this rare fish that 

 formed the subject of the paper is now deposited by the generosity of the 

 President in the Museum. 



The last paper on the programme was by Mr. H. M. Richardson on 

 the chief peculiarities of the Lepidopterous Fauna of Portland. This 

 is given at p. 46. Proposals were made, and agreed to, for the 

 exchange of the Club's publications for those of the " Royal Archaeological 

 Institute of Great Britain and Ireland" and of the "Bristol Naturalists' 

 Society. " 



A SECOND WINTER MEETING was held at the County Museum on 

 Tuesday, February 25th, at twelve o'clock, which was largely attended.

 progress they were making not only in their numbers, which now i cached 

 250, but in the increased recognition by the scientific world which their 

 publications were meeting with. 



Ten new members were then elected to the Field Club.
