 ciated the hospitality and the opportunity of seeing this fine

Your Council has received with great regret the resignation, 

 under his doctor's advice, of the Editor of the Journal, the 

 Rev. F. C. Hipkins. The thanks of the members are due to 

 him for the work that he has done, and all will hope that his 

 health will allow him to continue that deep interest in the 

 Society that he has always manifested. Mr. W. J. Andrew. 

 F.S.A., who, a year ago, was appointed co-editor with Mr. 

 Hipkins, has kindly promised to undertake the duties of Hon. 

 Editor. The Council trust that all members who have the will 

 and the ability to supply information of interest in the depart- 

 ments of archaeology or natural history will not hesitate to 

 communicate with him. By the death of Sir Henrj' Wilmot the 

 Society will regret the loss of an original member, who was also 

 one of its Trustees. Mr. H. Arnold-Bemrose has been appointed 

 Trustee in his place. 



The Rev. R. H. C. FitzHerbert has expressed a wish to resign 

 his seat on the Council, and Mr. W. R. Bryden has been 

 nominated by the Council to fill the vacancy.
