The. Report. 141 



oouncils and similar Ijixlies throughout the county should l>e,niade, 

 and sent to tlie the Society's Library at Devizes. 



MR. ARTHUR SCHOMBERG then expressed his strong dis- 

 approval of the passage in the report relating to the result of the 

 the Stonehenge trial, inasmuch as he objected on principle to the 

 enclosure of a public monument, like Stonehenge, by a private 

 person, and he moved to omit the passage. His motion, how- 

 ever, found no seconder, and the report was declared adopted. 



The re-election of the Officers of the Society was then proposed 

 by MR. W. HE WARD BELL, with the exception of himself, as 

 Librarian, and Mr. A. B. Fisher, as Curator, who wished to resign. 

 He proposed the election of Mr. H. E. Medlicott as a Vice- 

 President, and the appointment of the Eev. E. J. Bodington as 

 Hon. Librarian, as recommended by the Committee, leaving the 

 post of Hon. Curator vacant for the time; MR. PONTING having 

 seconded this, and the Auditors having been re-elected, the business 

 of the Meeting — at which thirty-two were present, was concluded.

 Pouting read an exhaustive paper on the architecture, pointing

 built into the east wall of the south aisle.

 members passed on, some to the College Chapel, where, in one of 

 the most beautiful buildings of modern times, MR. BAMBRIDGE 

 made beautiful music for those who were present, and some to the 

 excellent Museum, where MR. MEYRICK acted as their guide. 

 The dormitories, once the rooms of the Old Castle Inn, were 

 visited, and the rudely-carved oak mantelpiece in the common 

 room, depicting Moses striking the rock, which came from an old 

 house which stood on the site of part of the College buildings, was 

 seen. Mr. Pouting pointed out that the screen of stone pillars, 

 now standing in front of the entrance, in the centre of the college 

 buildings, was originally no part of those buildings, but was brought 

 from a large house which formerly existed at Mildenhall Woodlands,
