Areport of the Wiltshire Archwological and

For the Bear Julv, 1895-——July, 1896. 
[Read at the General Meeting, at Salisbury, July 14th, 1896.] 
¢¢G@QwG HE increase in the number of Members of the Society 
(which the Committee hoped would have progressed until 
there were at least four hundred upon the list) has not been main- 
tained, for the loss of ten Members by resignation and eleven by 
death since the Ist July, 1895, whilst only nine new Members have 
been elected, has reduced the total to three hundred and eighty-two. 
Notices of some of those removed by death have appeared in the 
Magazine. It is hoped that every effort will be made by the Local 
Secretaries and other friends to keep up our numbers. 
“A copy of the accounts for the year 1895 appears in the last 
Magazine. We regret to observe that the amount of subscriptions 
received within the twelve months is considerably less than in 1894. 
Prompt payment of subscriptions at the commencement of the year 
would be greatly appreciated. There is a falling off in the amount 
received from visitors to the Museum. Had it not been for the 
very handsome contribution to the Society’s funds handed over by 
the Local Committee at Corsham, after last year’s Meeting there, 
the receipts would have been much less satisfactory than the account 
shows them to be.
