PROCEEDINGS COTTESWOLD CLUB 
1919

The ultimate purpose of the author of the paper was to 
advocate the Club’s thus working in part by definite sections : 
perhaps three only — A, its Geological or Cosmological Section ; 
B, its Biological Section ; and C, its Anthropological Section. 
Such an arrangement would, it was suggested, add much to 
the capacity of the Club for good and original work, and so to 
its already honourable record. As Chairmen of sections, some 
of the members might find pleasant opportunities for being 
helpful to others and of doing more personal work than 
heretofore. Then, whilst the home of the Club as a whole 
should for many reasons remain in Gloucester, some one or 
more of its sections might be centred elsewhere. The Anthro- 
pological Section, for instance, might be centred in Cheltenham, 
where there are already students of the growing record of 
prehistoric man, and where also there are men of leisure who 
possess knowledge and experience of the peoples, institutions 
and needs of many lands. Such studies as this section might 
undertake, approached in the spirit of the naturalist, could not 
fail to make for a better understanding. 
A tabular statement showing the full list of the principal 
departments of a complete Natural Histor}? and the relation 
of these to the less concrete sciences was circulated at the 
reading of the paper and is here printed.
