of Purbeck marble, discovered in 1884 when the Church of St. 
Giles was restored, 18 inches below the floor. The elegant 
pierced parapet to the higher part of the nave has a date 1650 on 
one of the shields, a tombstone with the date 1690 is in the 
churchyard. A very peculiar view of the Church can be seen 
from the churchyard looking West over the three portions of 
different elevation, with the fine tower rising above them. There 
is a stoup for holy water in the South porch, a priest’s door in 
the North wall of the nave, a piscina in the Eastern chapel of the 
South aisle, and two peculiar carved corbels in the chancel walls, 
North and South, which can only have been intended for lamps.

responses to enable the party to obtain the reduction of fare 
offered by the Railway Company to parties of ten.

year, but six Members retired for various causes and six new 
Members took their places. The roll of Members now numbers 97,

the Physico-Geographical Institute of Costa Rica, and the Royal

received many valuable additions during the year from the 
Smithsonian Institute of Washington, U.S.A., and private 
donors. Several photographs have also been presented by
