Iioitiou of the Fal valley, and commanding a beautiful and 

 extensive view of the surrounding clay country, in which we 

 were soon travelling towards the Terras China Stone Mills. Over 

 these the party were shown by Mr. Joseph Rogers, who most 

 interestingly explained the various processes in the manufacture, 

 while at the Wlieal Eemfi-y China Clay Works, which were 

 next visited, he explained the raising and preparation of the clay. 



At Wheal Remfry our hospitable president had provided tea 

 for the party. The drive home through Ladock valley was 

 enjoyable, in spite of occasional showers. The arrangements 

 throughout the day were admirable, and thoroughly justified the 

 hearty thanks expressed to Major Parkyn and other officers of 

 the Institution who were responsible for them.
