220 The Thirteenth Annual Meeting. 
the volume now in preparation. With regard to that publication, 
the second number for the current year will, it is hoped, be in the 
hands of members in the course of a few days; and a considerable 
amount of material is ready for the succeeding number, which will 
be immediately begun, and will complete the 10th volume. But 
the Society has not confined its labours since the last annual meeting, 
to publication only. Researches which, it is believed, are import- 
ant in their results, have been made at Avebury, under the imme- 
diate direction of its Secretaries, the details of which will appear in 
the Magazine. In regard to the state of our finances, the Com- 
mittee is enabled to make a highly satisfactory report; the greater 
part of the arrears are now collected, and the balance in hand, 
after all outstanding accounts are paid, amounts to about £180. 
It had been the intention, as we believe is generally known, to hold 
the General Annual Meeting at Chippenham this autumn, but for 
certain cogent reasons, arising in part from the unavoidable pre- 
occupation of those on whom the arrangements for such a meeting 
usually devolve, and partly from the unwillingness of the Com- 
mittee to exhaust tae Archeological appetite of its members with 
too frequent meetings for antiquarian purposes; it was determined 
to let the admirable Congress held at Salisbury in the autumn of 
1865 do duty for two years, and postpone the Chippenham Congress 
to the summer or autumn of 1867, when your Committee antici- 
pates a full and very interesting meeting.” 
Mr. Cunnineton then gave a brief report of the bequest lately 
made to the Society by Mrs. Wetherell, for which see the last 
number of the Wiltshire Magazine, page 217. 
On the motion of C. Darsy Grirriru, Esq., M.P., the Report 
was unanimously adopted. 
The meeting then proceeded to elect the officers of the Society 
for the ensuing year. 
The Treasurer, F. A. 8. Locke, Esq., was re-elected. 
The Secretaries, the Rev. A. C. Smith and Mr. Cunnington,
