THE REPORT.

"The Committee of the Wiltshire Archæological and Natural History Society has once more the satisfaction of reporting on this the seventeenth anniversary of its formation, the continued prosperity of the Society. The number of names on the books now amounts to 317, being slightly above the average at which we usually stand, and almost exactly the same as last year, when the number was recorded as 313.

"Your Committee has at the same time to lament the loss of several influential members, who by the interest they evinced at our annual meetings, or by their contributions to the pages of our Magazine, deserve special mention in this report. Amongst these we beg to specify the Rev. Canon Prower, of Purton; Mr. Bendry Brooke, of Malmesbury; and, above all, the late Bishop of Salisbury,
