is particularly requested to see that an entry is made in the 
book kept for that purpose, which is on the Library table.

The Accounts for the year have been audited, and the 
General Financial Statement, to March 31st, 1869, is

The Museum, now containing a valuable and well- 
arranged collection of Natural History, Ceology, and 
Antiquities, as well as a Library, which, though not 
extensive, contains many works of cost and value, is highly 
creditable to the Town and County of Warwick, and 
deserves a much greater amount of support than it has of 
late years received. An excellent foundation has been laid, 
but much might be effected if adequate meaus were placed at 
the disposal of the Council. Owing to the losses, by death, 
of several subscribers during the past year, and the small 
number of additional members, the funds of the Society 
are in a less satisfactory condition than could be desired. 
A reference to the list of subscribers wiil show that only 
afew of the rich and influential residents in the County 
belong to the Society. If the members would solicit 
annual subscriptions from their friends and neighbours, 
-it is probable that a considerable addition would be made 
to the funds of the Society. 
At the Annual Meeting, after the business of the Society 
was finished, and the Officers for the ensuing year appointed, 
Mr. Marruew Hoxsecue Broxam, read the following Paper, 
on “Warwickshire in the Civil Wars of the Seventeenth 
Century, (second notice.)
