REPORT. Xxix 
the restored effigy shall be worthily disposed in the church of 
which the original of the figure was sub-dean and canon. That 
such disposal will be effected before our next anniversary the 
Council feels justified in expecting. 
Various papers of interest will be found in this volume of the 
Journal, but the Natural History side of the Society is not 
represented ; members are asked to recollect that the Publishing 
Committee is always glad to receive offers of papers for publica- 
tion upon subjects connected with Archeology or Natural 
History. 
The thanks of the Society are due to Mr. W. H. St. John 
Hope, for his editing of the Journal for this, as well as for the 
two past years. 
The Council has decided to obtain an accurate return of all the 
Church Plate in the county, with a view to publishing an illustrated 
volume upon the subject, as has been very successfully done by 
other societies similar to our own. It is hoped this scheme will 
commend itself to our members, and any help from them in 
obtaining sketches or rubbings of special articles of Church Plate 
in the county will be very acceptable. - 
In June last, your Council, in the name of the Society, offered 
to our President, the Duke of Devonshire, an expression of con- 
dolence and sympathy with him in his great domestic sorrow. 
We have to regret this year the death of one of our Vice- 
Presidents, the Rev. Sir Edward Repps Jodrell: seventeen 
ordinary members have been removed from us by death or other 
causes, but still we are to-day numerically stronger than at our last 
anniversary. The accompanying balance-sheet proves us to be in 
a good position financially, and the Council is satisfied with the 
result of the Society’s fifth year of proceedings.
