with No. 93 of the Magazine. As we anticipated in our report last 
year, owing to a serious falling off in the number of our Members 
the funds have suffered. There is room for confident hope, 
however, that our Society will continue to receive the support of 
those interested in archeology and natural history in all. parts of 
the county. No. 92 of the Magazine was issued last December, 
and completed the 30th volume, and with it a new list of members. 
Appendix III. of ‘Additions to the Library,’ and Part VII. of

supporters such as Dr. Jennings, and the Earl of Radnor as a 
generous subscriber. Of course we have especially to deplore the 
loss of Lieut.-General Pitt-Rivers, probably the most distinguished
