seventy-one in the preceding year. The Museum Maintenance 

 Fund has been of the greatest use in enabling the Society to furnish 

 the new room with two excellent wall cases, and in many other 

 ways. As a result of this provision of additional space for ex- 

 hibition much good work has been accomplished by the Hon_ 

 Curator and Mrs. Cunnington in the way of the re-&.rrangement 

 of cases, and the provision of good type-written labels. Many 

 valuable specimens, hitherto scarcely visible owing to the crowded 

 state of the cases, are now exhibited to far greater advantage. In 

 this connection the Committee would appeal to Members for 

 specimens of objects of ancient household or agricultural use in 

 Wiltshire. Tools, implements, and appliances in common use two 

 generations back are often of considerable interest now, and their 

 interest will increase as time goes on. 



" The Library.— The Society has again to thank many authors 

 and publishers for gifts of books recently published, connected 

 with Wiltshire, as well as other donors. The Library continues, 

 indeed, rapidly to grow in importance, and an appendix to the 

 catalogue containing the titles of all books and pamphlets added 

 since January, 1900 — some seven hundred in number — has been 

 compiled by the Eev. E. H. Goddard, and type-written for reference. 

 A large volume of Wiltshire cuttings and scraps has been mounted 

 and indexed by the Eev. C. V. Goddard, and two large scrap books 

 containing in the one case Wiltshire portraits and in the other 

 Wiltshire prints and views, have been completed by the Eev. 

 E. H. Goddard. An appeal made on the cover of the Magazine for 

 local picture postcards, brought a generous donation of one 

 hundred and twenty cards of the Devizes neighbourhood from 

 Mr. C. H. Woodward. The Committee would venture to suggest to 

 publishers of picture postcards of Wiltshire, as well as to other 

 members, that further gifts would be very acceptable. 



" The Magazine.— The number for December, 1906, completing 

 the thirty-fourth volume, contained a very full and complete index, 

 for which the Society is again indebted to Miss Inez Story- 

 Maskelyne. The Society is indebted to the Eev. J. A. Lloyd for 

 a contribution towards the expense of printing the early
