WEDNESDAY, JULY lirn. 
(x WICE before in its history, the Society has met at 
Malmesbury—in 1862 and in 1882—but the membersh‘p 
changes so much in eighteen years that very few of those present 
in 1900 remembered the Meeting of 1882. 
THE GENERAL MEETING of the Society was held in the 
Town Hall, at 3, p.m., and as there was nothing to be done 
beyond the reading of the Report, and the transaction of formal 
business, and as moreover Malmesbury is not easily reached by 
rail from other parts of the county, only some nineteen Members 
put in an appearance. The Prestpent took the chair, and at 
once called on Mr. H. E. Mepuicorr to read 
Tue Report. 
“The Committee has met, as usual, quarterly, during the past 
year. ; 
“The accounts for the year 1899 have been printed and issued
