PROCEEDINGS 
OF THE 
Vol. II. JUNE, 1867. No. 6. 
EXCURSION MEETING. 
Friday, June 14th.— The first excursion for the season took place 
this day as arranged, and was attended by several members and lady 
visitors. Leaving Bristol by the 9.45 a.m. train, the party reached 
Chepstow via the New Passage, soon after 11 o'clock, and were met by 
the breaks which had been provided to convey them to Tintern. About 
two miles out of Chepstow, the majority left the breaks, and ascended 
WyndclifF by the path leading up from the back of it. The atmosphere 
being tolerably clear, the extensive view, familiar to so many, was well 
seen, and a considerable time was spent in admiring it, and in searching 
the woods for objects of Natural History. We regret to have to note, 
however, that neither Botanists nor Entomologists were rewarded by the 
discovery of any objects of special interest. As the route from the top of 
WyndclifF to Tintern across the fields was not known to any member pre- 
sent, the whole party rejoined the conveyances which were waiting at the 
foot of the cliff, and were driven to the beautiful Abbey, to the examina- 
tion of which, much time was devoted. 
Mr. Emil Arnold Praeger kindly made some remarks upon the 
building, thus adding greatly to the pleasure and information of the party.
