single name of Sir Richard Colt Hoare, Bart.! In that work the 
Hundreds of Downton, in 1833, and Frustfield, in 1844, were 
undertaken by Mr. Matcham. 
To the Journal of the Archzological Institute of 1849 he con- 
tributed a valuable paper on “The Results of Archzological In- 
vestigation in Wiltshire,” and “ Remarks on Two Communications 
respecting Stonehenge.” To our own Magazine he was an occasional 
contributor (see the indexes, vols. viii. and xvi. under his name), 
particularly in a lively discussion with the late Mr. Poulett Serope 
about the much-disputed site of the Battle of Ethandun. At the 
annual meetings and excursions of our Society Mr. Mateham was a 
constant attendant. Bad weather or long distance might deter less 
zealous archeologists, but both were bravely encountered by the 
amiable veteran, who, to the last, took great pleasure in witnessing 
the efforts made by a younger generation to unravel obscurities, 
which, half a century before, had exercised the wits of his eolleagues 
and himself. He died 18th January, 1877, in his eighty-eighth 
year. 
10f the celebrated topographical gatherings at Stourhead, 1825—1833, an 
interesting account from the pen of the late Joseph Hunter, Deputy Keeper of 
the Records and Historian of South Yorkshire, is given in the ‘‘ Salisbury 
volume,” 1849, of the Archeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland,p.16.
