IAM truly sorry that I am unable to attend this year, 

 as I have hacl great pleasure in doing for two years 

 past, at the Annual Meeting of the Somersetshire Archaso- 

 logical Society. I have indeed no doubt that my time 

 will be as agreeably and as profitably spent at that of the 

 Cambrian Association : I only regret that the arrangements 

 of the two Societies should interfere with one another, er 

 that I am not invested with the privilege of ubiquity, which 

 would enable me to attend both. But though I believe 

 the Brecknockshire Beacons are visible from some parts of 

 the county of Somerset, yet the towns of Brecon and 

 Yeovil are sufficiently distant from one another to render 

 it impossible to read Papers at both on the same day, and
