committed, and for this he deserves the consideration of Archæologists. He is now far advanced in years, and should the members of the Society, or the public generally, be inclined to give him any acknowledgement for his services, it would be very acceptable. Contributions will be received by the Secretaries, and duly acknowledged.

As to the stone said to have been carried away to St. James's, in the time of Charles I., we have made some enquiries at St. James's Palace, and are informed on the authority of the Clerk of the Works, that no such stone now exists there. We shall, if possible, enquire further into the matter.
