34 PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. 



additions to our knowledge of our native pottery industry in 

 Roman times, which I hope to make the subject of a paper at no 

 very distant period. Among the many bones I have come across 

 is the skull of the hornless variety of bos longifrons, having two 

 rudimentary horn-cores, a true British polled ox. A scull similar 

 to it is in the geological collections of the British Museum, Cromwell 

 Road. The ornithological collections of the County Museum are 

 making equal progress with those of the geological and archaeological. 

 The greatest thanks are due to Mr. T. 'B. Groves and Mr. Nelson 

 Richardson, who keep their ever vigilant eyes upon the birds who 

 rashly visit the estuaries of Weymouth and the neighbourhood. 

 At our last Field Club Meeting in December Mr. Groves exhibited 

 specimens of Richardson's and pomatorhine skuas, a grey 

 phalarope, and a gannet in immature plumnge, perhaps bred in the 

 neighbourhood. Colonel Pickard Cambridge's handsome present 

 of birds from the neighbourhood of Weymouth, made by his 

 brother, Mr. Henry Pickard Cambridge, deserves grateful notice. 

 The committee will soon have to take into serious consideration how 

 adequate room can be secured to receive our rapidly growing 

 ornithological collections.
