PREFACE. 



THE present Part of our Transactions concludes the 

 Third Volume. The Club can certainly feel satisfied 

 that the aim set out when it first began to publish in 1898, 

 namely, that its Transactions should deal with original 

 matters of local interest only, has been so far achieved. 

 In the three Volumes which have been published it is not 

 possible to find a single paragraph that does not bear 

 upon this district. In the present Volume there are papers 

 and monographs of altogether exceptional worth, and these 

 have been increased in value by a wealth of plates and 

 illustrations in the text of which any Society might be 

 proud. 



It is to be hoped that the Club may long continue to 

 carry on its useful work.
