Saturday, April 26th, 1881. Ordinary Meeting.
The forty-eighth Ordinary Meeting was held at the " Roebuck Inn,"
Buckhurst Hill (the change of place of meeting being rendered necessary
by the extent of Mr. Greenhill's collections, which required a large space
for exhibition), at seven o'clock, the President in the chair.
The following were elected members of the Club :—Messrs. G. C.
Champion, M.E.S., S. Hall, F.C.S., F. W. Himing, W. T, Jackson,

Howell, M.A., Rev. J. J. Jackson, M.A., Rev. Thomas Stevens, M.A., and
Rev. H. B. Swete, D.D.
The President said that an application had been made by Mr. P.
Cameron requesting the Club to petition Parliament in favour of Mr.
Bryce's Bill for the preservation of the Scotch Highlands from enclosure.
The Council considered that the Club could not take action in its
corporate capacity, but as most members sympathised strongly with the
Bill, there could be no objection to such a petition being placed in the
rooms of the Club for signature.
Mr. Meldola asked for information from members and others as to the
phenomena attending the recent earthquake in Essex (ante, p. xcii.).
He had put himself into communication with members of the Club in
various part of the county, and he and Mr. White had constituted them-
selves a committee, with the intention of recording the facts of the
occurrence.
The Secretary read a letter from Mr. F. C. J. Spurrell, F.G.S., asking
for information as to sinkings in the earth caused by the earthquake.
Dr. Cory gave some details as to the shock experienced by two of his
patients at Buckhurst Hill.
