XX XIV. 



The Rev. R. P. Murray read "Notes on some of the Rarer Forms of 

 E ubus lately found in Dorset." This is printed at p. 71. Mr. Nelson 

 M. Richardson read a short paper on a " Moth, Tinea subtilella, Fuchs, 

 recently discovered at Portland, and New to Britain," after which a paper 

 on a " Remarkable Deformity in the Flowering Head of Charlock," which 

 was found in a corn field near Radipole, was read by the same author. 

 These papers are given at Moth, p. 161 ; Charlock, p. 157. 



A paper entitled " A Brief Historical and Descriptive Sketch of the 

 Churches in the Rural Deanery of Dorchester (Dorchester portion) " was 

 read by the Rev. W. M. Barnes, rector of Monckton. This paper is 

 printed at p. 36. 



At the conclusion of this paper some discussion ensued. Mr. A. Bankes 

 referred to the probable depopulation of the village of Winterborne 

 Farringdon by the plague as a very interesting matter. Mr. Moule 

 remarked that East Fordington Church was a rich field for the investiga- 

 tion of archaeologists. He had been struck with the similarity between 

 the design of the Bayeux tapestry and the carving on the doorway of 

 Fordington St. George. The latter was not a tympanum, as it had 

 often been called, but a thing of most unique construction. Indeed, so 

 curious was it that he thought it had not gained the fame it deserved. 

 He regretted the disgracefully rude elevation of the north side of the 

 church. The atrocious north aisle had been actually sanctioned by the 

 Diocesan architect of that day. The Rev. W. M. Barnes said in 

 Canterbury Cathedral one could plainly see where the axe work ended, 

 and the chisel work began. Two papers included in the programme for 

 the day viz., " On some New and Rare Dorset Spiders " by the Rev. O. 

 P. Cambridge, and " Some New and Rare British Shells" by Mr. Charles 

 Owen P. Cambridge, Avere presented, and, in the unavoidable absence of 

 the authors, were taken as read. These papers will be found, the former 

 at p. 80 and the latter at p. 99 of this volume. This brought the 

 meeting to a conclusion, and with it terminated the work of the season 

 1890-91.
