April, on a question about a member’s subscription and the 
interpretation of Rule 15, Lieut.-Colonel Nash accepted the office. 
The departure from the Committee of one who had so ably 
and zealously performed the functions of so important an office 
was keenly felt by the Members. The past year has thus seen 
important changes, and the Club has had a most unfortunate 
experience in losing its leading officials, whose work and 
enthusiasm have contributed so much to its success during 
the last 10 or 12 years. In November the Club sustained 
another loss in the resignation of Mr. McMurtrie, F.G.S., who 
had been a Vice-President for two years, and a Member since 
1866. On many occasions the Club has been indebted to 
him for valuable papers on various subjects, embodying the 
results of careful work and research, and it is needless to say 
the resignation was received with much regret. Two members 
have died during the year, Mr. J. Onslow Watts, whose name 
has appeared on the list since 1870, and the Rev. W. F. 
_ Kelly. One who had been a Member since 1889, Major-General 
Nimmo, died shortly after sending in his resignation. His name 
appears frequently in our records as being present at meetings 
and excursions. 
The Club, in its endeavours to stimulate interest in antiquarian 
research, has twice voted £5 towards objects which were conceived 
_ to be within the scope of its investigations. The first was given 
_ to the work with which Mr. Trice Martin, the newly-elected Vice- 
_ President, was so closely identified, the excavations at Caerwent, 
and may be considered as in some degree a recognition of his 
lecture, in November, 1902, at the College, to which the Members 
“were invited, and of his guidance of the Club in the Excursion 
referred to later on. The second £5 was for the work of 
3 ascertaining the real character of the so-called Via Julia. 
The papers given in this volume are sufficiently varied. The 
q Club is glad to be able to give a continuation of Mr. Sydenham’s 
account of Bath Tokens, which will be read with much interest :
