THE THIRTY-FOURTH GENERAL MEETING 
OF THE 
Wiltshire Archeological and Natural Wistory Society,’ 
HELD AT SALISBURY, 
IN CONJUNCTION WITH 
Che Roval Archxolugtcal Institute of Great Britain and Ireland,

1887, 
PRESIDENT OF THE MEETING, 
Lr.-Geyerat A. H. Lans-Fox Prrt-Rivers, D.C.L., F.B.S., F.S.A. 
S the Royal Archezological Institute decided to hold its 
Annual Meeting in 1887 at Salisbury, the Wiltshire 
Archzological Society at once made arrangements to take ad- 
vantage of the visit of the parent Society to their county, and join 
that Body. The Institute had once before held its meeting at 
Salisbury, but that was in its early days, as long back as 1849, at a 
time when the prevalence of the cholera very much marred the 
pleasure of the visitors to our county; so that to the majority of 
those who assisted at the meeting last year the visit of the great 
National Archeological Society to Wiltshire was a new experience, 
The Inaugural Meeting was held in the Council House, at noon, 
on Tuesday, August 2nd, the Mayor or Satissury (F. Griffin, Esq.) 
_ in the chair, when a large number of ladies and gentlemen attended. 
1 The Editor of the Magazine desires to acknowledge the very great assistance 
he has derived, in preparing the report of this Meeting, from the columns of the 
Salisbury and Winchester Journal, and from the Jowrnal of the Royal 
Archeological Institute.
