Mr. Wilde concluded by impressing on the Academy the 

 importance of appointing persons to inquire into this and such 

 other objects of antiquarian interest as might, from time to 

 time, come to their knowledge, and thereby preserving them 

 to the Academy and to science ; and he read a letter from Mr. 

 Barnwall, offering every facility to the Academy, or to any of 

 its members, to make further investigations into the bone-heap 

 at Lagore. 



The thanks of the Academy were voted to Mr. Barnwall, 

 for his obliging offer.

 lowing the words " each candidate proposed."
