XXX. THE ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING. 



have seen valuable additions to the library, both in number and quality. This 

 report ends with a longing wish that by some means it could be brought home 

 to the minds of all Dorset men that the Dorset Museum is an important county

SUMMER FIELD MEETINGS. A meeting which it had been

 Torquay (a two days' meeting), (3) West Purbeck, including the 

 acceptance of an invitation to tea at Creech Grange from Mr.

 desirable, on behalf of the Club, that a new Secretary, with new 

 methods and new ideas, should occasionally be appointed, and 

 he hoped that by the next Annual Meeting a suitable one might 

 be found to succeed him. 



The Hon. Secretary proposed and Mr. Moule seconded Rev. 

 W. Miles Barnes for the post of Editor of the annual volume of

 which was confined to Britford, Longford Castle, and Dowuton.
