REPORT. 
“The Committee of the Wiltshire Archeological and Natural 
History Society has again the satisfaction of recording the well- 
being of the Society, which continues to hold on its even course, 
and to carry on the work for which it was instituted with quiet 
perseverance. But though flourishing, with somewhat increased 
numbers, we must not omit to mention the losses by death (happily 
fewer in number than it has been our province to record of late 
years) which the Society has sustained since our last Annual Meeting.
