The Report. 533 



has been conveyed to the National Trust, and it is a matter for 

 congratulation that on these areas at least the Sarsens are safe 

 from further destruction. A full list of subscriptions is printed 

 in the June number of the Magazim. 



" Excavations. The past year has been marked by more than 

 usually important excavations in the county. Mr. and Mrs. B. H. 

 Cunnington carried out last summer an exhaustive examination of 

 Oliver's Camp, near Devizes, of which an account appears in the 

 recently-issued Magazine. They also opened several barrows on 

 Eound way Down, and partially excavated a Romano-British midden 

 near Martinsell. Of these latter researches an account will here- 

 after be given in the Magazine. 



" At Netheravon Col. Hawley opened in 1907 a tessellated floor 

 belonging to a Roman building of apparently considerable extent, 

 but unfortunately the excavations could not be carried further. 



" Recently, under the auspices of the Stone Circles Committee 

 of the British Association, Mr. H. St. George Gray has undertaken 

 important excavations at Avebury, with the object of obtaining 

 evidence of the age of the circles. The work will be resumed on 

 a larger scale next spring, and the section of the ditch already 

 excavated will be left open for inspection until then. It is hoped 

 that the account of these diggings may be eventually printed in 

 the Magazine. 



" Annual Meeting. The Swindon Meeting, though to some extent 

 marred by the weather, was a pleasant and instructive one, and 

 resulted in a considerable number of new Members from that 

 neighbourhood. 



" It is hoped that this year's Meeting, in the capital of Wiltshire, 

 will meet with the success which this most interesting locality 

 promises, and which the exertions of the Mayor of New Sarum, 

 Mr. Baker, and Mr. Hammond should ensure. 



" The Committee would especially urge on all concerned the 

 desirability of increasing the roll of the Society in the Salisbury 

 district.
