THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. XXXvii. 



THE PROCEEDINGS. In the absence of the retiring Hon. 

 Editor (the Rev. W. Miles Barnes) the HON. SECRETARY made a 

 short statement as to the probable contents of the next volume 

 of " Proceedings," enumerating the papers which it was pro- 

 posed to publish. The Publication Committee had decided to 

 print by degrees the Chartularies of the Dorset monasteries ; 

 and that of Cerne Abbey, if it did not appear in Vol. XXVII. , 

 would be printed in the succeeding volume. The Brasses of 

 Dorset, and also the Dorset Chantries, were to be proceeded 

 with, and completed in course of time. 



ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The President, Hon. Secretary, and 

 Hon. Treasurer, were re-elected, and the Hon. Secretary re- 

 nominated Mr. H. Pouncy as Assistant Secretary. 



The PRESIDENT said he regretted much that the Rev. W. Miles 

 Barnes had resigned the office of Hon. Editor, in which he had 

 done valuable service to the Club. He was glad that Mr. Pentin 

 had kindly consented to take the office. It was no light task to 

 edit that large volume, in addition to the labours of the 

 secretariat. Mr. F. J. BARNES seconded Mr. Pentin's appoint- 

 ment as Hon. Editor, and it was carried with applause. 



The following resolution was proposed, and carried unani- 

 mously : " That the sincere thanks of the Club be given to the 

 Rev. W. Miles Barnes for his excellent work as Hon. Editor 

 during the past five years." 



The Vice-Presidents were re-elected in a body, and Mr. 

 Miles Barnes' name was added to the list. 



Mr. E. R. SYKES, B.A., F.Z.S., was appointed delegate of 

 the Club to attend the meeting of the British Association at 

 York. 



THE SUMMER MEETINGS. The next business was the choice 

 of the places of field meetings to be held during the ensuing 

 summer. Many suggestions of localities had been received, 

 and these were put to the vote, with the result that (i) Bindon 

 Abbey and Lul worth Castle, (2) Badbury Rings and Kingston 

 Lacy, (3) Frome and Longleat, were selected for the outdoor 

 meetings.
