in their meetings and excursions. By this arrangement 

 many of the Officers and Membera of the Somerset Archse- 

 ological and Natural History Society, had the pleasure of 

 making the personal acquaintance of their fellow-labourers 

 froni other parts of the kingdoni, and of showing their 

 syrapathy and respect for the officers of a kindred Society. 

 As the proceedings of the Congress of the Association have 

 been recorded in their own Transactions, it is unnecessary 

 to give an account of them here. The observations made 

 by Mr. Planche on the Statues on the West Front of 

 Wells Cathedral, and the examination of the records and 

 various docunicnts among the Archives of the Corporation 

 oi Bridgwater, by Mr. Black, were of such value and great 

 local interest as to demand a special notice and acknow- 

 ledgment on the part of this Society.
