the Society under the will of the late Mrs. Wetherell, and some 
time was occupied in inspecting these beautiful specimens of fossils 
and minerals. 
Mr. Ewart then called upon the Secretaries to read the Report, 
which was done as follows :— 
“The Committee of the Wiltshire Archexological and Natural 
History Society once more begs to offer to the members of the 
Society a brief report of its progress since this time last year. The 
Society has suffered during the past twelve-months many losses by 
death: some of its earliest members having been taken from us since 
we last assembled. The work of the Society has been gradually 
_ developing, new subjects of information opening out in several quar- 
; ters, and that which your Committee especially hails with satisfac- 
tion, new contributors to the pages of the Magazine, appearing in
