Salisbury Museum. The only suggestion Mr. Dorau Webb could 

 give was that the box may have contained relics. In the vestry 

 was a photo of the chalice belonging to the Church — the original 

 was not on view — a remarkable vessel formed of the bowl and base 

 of a pre-Keformation " ciborium," or cup like that at Lacock, 

 fastened together without a stem. 



Thruxton — the last place on the programme- — -is the site of a 

 Eoman villa with a remarkable inscribed pavement, first uncovered 

 many years ago. Its very site, however, had been forgotten until 

 a year or two ago Mr. Engleheart re-discovered it, when it was 

 removed to tlie British Museum, where it has lately been set up. 



The Church is chietiy notable for its monuments, the tomb and

 and endeavour to find a cup of tea. This was accordingly done, 

 and the leading brakes scoured the village, past the queer deserted 

 shops of the fair-ground, in the vain endeavour to find tea at either 

 of the inns; only to return to the station and find that their 

 comrades in the carriages beliind had the hap})ier luck to find it at 

 a cottage close by. 



The train came in, the party embarked on their return to 

 Marlborough, and the Meeting of 1905 was over. Thanks to the 

 work of Messrs. Gwillim and McDiamond, who acted as Local 

 Secretaries; to Mr. Pouting; to the Local Committee ; and last, 

 but not least, to Mr. Doran Webl), who so kindly consented to act 

 as guide on the two days' excursions, and who gave us of the
