WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11TH, 1902. 
Ammal General Meeting. 
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL 
FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 11TH, 1902. 
During the past year six Papers have been read, the full titles 
of which are appended, at the Ordinary Meetings of the Society. 
In addition to these two Lectures have been given by Prof. 
Flinders Petrie and Mr. Fred. Enock respectively, to which the 
public have been admitted on payment. Notwithstanding the 
attractive nature of their subjects and the eminence of the 
lecturers the Council regrets that the attendance was not so large 
as might have been expected, It will therefore be a matter for 
serious consideration whether this plan of providing popular 
Lectures shall be continued. 
Mr. Pankhurst, who had been for sixteen years Scientific 
Secretary of the Society, resigned that position last October. He 
has, however, in the absence of a successur, assisted the Secretary 
in the work wich which he was so familiar. ‘lhe Council cannot 
part with Mr. Pankhurst after so many years’ service as Honorary 
Secretary without expressing their deep sense of the obligation 
which the Society is under to him for his valuable assistance. 
The Council regrets that hitherto they have been unable to find a 
gentleman willing to undertake the duties of the office which he 
vacated. 
There were two Excursions, namely, on June 22nd, 1go1, to 
Wiston, and May 24th, 1902, to Worth Forest, Balcombe. A 
third Excursion to Ashdown Forest was arranged, but postponed 
through inclement weather.
