PEESIDENT OF THE MEETING. 



^HE Annual Meeting of 1892 was held in conjunction with 

 the Sumnaer Meeting of the Bristol and Gloucestershire 

 Archaeological Society at Cirencester, where the Society had never 

 met before, though a day was spent there during the Swindon 

 Meeting in 1873 (vol. xiv., p. 142), somewhat later in the year 

 than usual, owing to the original arrangements for July having 

 been upset by the occurrence of the General Election. 



The General Meeting of the Society was appointed for 11.30 on 

 the 23rd, at the King's Head Hotel, but owing to the difficulty of 

 getting to Cirencester so early in the day, very few Members of the 

 Society were present, and the Report was taken as read by The 

 Secretary, the officers being formally re-elected for the ensuing year, 



THE REPORT. 



" Your Committee reports that it has met four times since the 

 General Annual Meeting at Wilton last year. 



" At these meetings thirty-four new Members have been elected,
