IV. Barnwood Gravel Pits. 
Further finds have occurred at the deep (14-16 ft.) level of 
fossilized molars of rhinoceros, elephant, horse, and (unfossilized) 
red-deer at a higher level. With the former have freely been 
found water-rounded pebbles and fragments of black hard 
rocks striated with quartzite entirely foreign to the region and 
suggesting raft-born glacial deposit. Some good scraper-flints 
and one or two gamboge-tinted flakes, likewise, were found. 
The Romano-British trenched burial-ground represented 
in Proceedings , xx., p. 59, is developing further on the Gloucester 
side of it, and a transverse shallow trench of similar character 
to the formerly found ones was met with, but was dug away 
in the course of operations. It is of interest, however, to note 
this, because some of us expected it would be found, and its 
significance tends to the hypothesis already suggested that 
there was a small burial-plot, probably devoted to the 
neighbouring Hucclecote Villas, and that this was oblong in 
form and trenched with perhaps wooden posts of enclosure.

V. Survey Memoirs. 
The Survey Memoir just published as the tenth of the 
Special Reports on the Mineral Resources of Great Britain deals 
with the Phematite-mining industry of the Forest of Dean and 
South Wales, and has been prepared by T. Franklin Sibly, 
Professor of Geology in Armstrong College, Newcastle-on-Tyne. 
The Forest of Dean has not been previously described in a 
Survey Memoir, and the present report is a comprehensive 
account of the iron-mining of this district, from both a geological 
and an economic point of view. More than one-half of the 
Memoir relates to the Forest. A copy is in the Club Library. 
The " Summary of Progress ” for 1918 includes (pp. 53-57) 
an account of a boring for coal at Winterbourne, by T. C. 
Cantrill and B. Smith. The trial was made on the extreme
