DECEMBER, 1898. 
. THE FORTY-FIFTH GENERAL MEETING 
OF THE 
Wiltshire Archeological and Natural Mistory Society, 
HELD AT SWINDON, 
July 5th, 6th, and 7th, 1898. 
C. H. Tausor, Esa., President of the Society, in the Chair. 
TUESDAY, JULY Sth, 1898. 
DEPARTURE from the ordinary custom of past years 
was made on this occasion by putting the Annual General 
Meeting in the evening instead of the afternoon; and, as Swindon 
possesses few archeological attractions in itself, the majority of 
Members attending the Meeting did not put in an appearance until 
the time arrived for DINNER. This took place at 7, p.m., at the 
Goddard Arms Hotel—which served as the head-quarters of the 
Society during the Meeting—some twenty-six persons sitting down 
to it. The toast list was cut very short, the only toast being that 
of “ The Queen.” 
After an interval the Members reassembled in the same large 
‘room of the hotel, for the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, the 
proceedings beginning with the reading of the REPORT by Mr. 
H. E. Mepuicorr.
