Flowering Plants of the Neighbourhood of Plymouth," a con- 
tinuance of a paper read in a previous session ; " Art as applied 
to Town Buildings, with reference to Plymouth ; " " Roman-British 
Antiquities recently discovered in the neighbourhood of Ply- 
mouth ;" and "The Red Sandstones, Conglomerates, and Marls 
of Devon," the third and concluding part of a series published 
in the Transactions of the Society for 1861-62, 1862-63, and the 
present year. 
The Roman-British antiquities found at Fort Stamford, which 
formed the subject of one of these Lectures, have been presented 
by Mr. C. Spence Bate, the lecturer, with the concurrence of 
Col Owen, C.B., R.E., to the Society, and are deposited in its 
Museum. Among them are vessels of earthenware and glass, 
articles of personal adornment, such as brooches, rings and brace- 
lets, and fragments of two bronze mirrors. The latter are of 
much interest, the discovery of mirrors being comparatively rare. 
The more perfect of them is remarkable for its ornamentation and 
for its size, being eight inches in diameter. 
The following are some particulars with reference to mirrors 
previously discovered in this country : — 
Southwark (circular, with perforated edges).. 5^ ins. dia. 
Sandwich (circular) 4.^ 
Caister, near Yarmouth - (circular, with perfo- 
rated edges) 3f „ 
Northumberland, preserved at Chester (rec- 
tangular) 
Two mirrors preserved at Bedford, and in Mr. Mayor's col- 
lection, are the only ones hitherto discovered, which, in their pecu- 
liar Celtic ornamentation, resemble that now deposited in our 
Museum. 
The Museum has been further enriched by the gift of an in- 
teresting collection of fossils from Haldon and Blackdown, pre- 
* A mirror resembling that found at Caister, and of about the same size, 
has been discovered at Copenhagen.
