PROCEEDINGS COTTESWOLD CLUB 
1915 
ORDINARY WINTER MEETINGS, 1915 
Tuesday, February 23rd, 1915. 
Prof. J. R. Ainsworth-Davis, M.A. F.C.P., President, in the Chair. 
The Minutes of the last Meeting were read, confirmed, and signed by the 
Chairman. 
Mr Herbert Haigh, of Llandogo, near Tintern, exhibited two excellent 
stone arrow-heads, found at Conygar, south of Llandogo Station, by 
Mr W. Rooke. Opposite here, on the Gloucestershire side of the Wye, on 
Gumber’s Farm, just below St. Briavels, Mr Haigh stated that it was pos- 
sible to pick up hundreds of flint flakes and occasional arrow-heads. 
Mr J. W. Skinner exhibited the skull of an animal picked up near Pains' 
wick Edge, and suggested it might be that of a badger. He was confirmed 
in this opinion first by an examination of a stuffed badger in the adjoining 
Museum, and next by the emphatic testimony of the President, who pointed 
out the characteristic features, and said it was undoubtedly the skull of a 
badger. It was something like a dog’s skull, but there were striking features 
of dissimilarity. The front teeth were like those of a dog, but the back ones 
were flattened for grinding an omnivorous diet. Also the lower jaw was 
locked to the upper one and could not be detached. 
The following papers were then read : — 
1. — “White’s Thrush on the Lassington Estate,’’ by the Rev. A. R. 
Winnington-Ingram. 
2. — “ The Control of River Channels,’’ by T. S. Ellis, M.R.C.S. 
It was considered that there was considerable doubt as to whether the 
bird seen by Mr Winnington-Ingram was White’s Thrush.

the Club. 
Specimens were exhibited by the Rev. H. H. Winwood, the Rev, Walter 
Butt, Lieut. -Col. J, C. Duke, and by Mr Richardson on behalf of Mr E. C. 
Sewell. The last exhibit consisted of five bronze celts from Ireland, six 
large Roman beads from Cirencester, two from Wilderspool, Warrington, one 
from Colchester, a number of small ones from Gloucester, and a large bead 
said to have been obtained from a Saxon grave near Cheltenham. Also, a 
number of barbed flint arrow-heads collected in 1914 at Rodmarton. They 
were of late Neolithic age. 
The following papers were read : — 
1. — “ The Codling Moth {Carpocapsa pomonella Linn.)’’ by C. Granville 
Clutterbuck, F.E.S.
