The members and friends met at Selattyn, where they visited the church and then ascended Selattyn Hill to the Tower, on which is an inscription in English and Welsh to the effect that it was built in memory of a battle fought in the valley belew between the Britons and Saxons. They next proceeded up the aforesaid valley to the source of the Morlase, and then partly retracing their steps followed the stream down as far as the Hengoed. The great abun- dance of blue forget-me-not, which filled the upper part of its course, had a very pretty effect. After visiting Hen- eoed Vicarage and Church, kindly shown by the Rev. A. R Llovd it was found that thie fame did not admit of Sac^the stream to its junction;with the Ceinog, ash*! been at first intended, and the party therefore once made for Chirk, where an excellent dinner awaited them at the Hand Hotel.
