(Bead 10th December, 1908. ) 



WILTSHIREMAN must stand in this meeting 

 somewhat guiltily, as a poacher taken flagrante 

 delicto, and not for the first time, in Dorset 

 preserves. Happily I am able to lay the blame 

 on your Secretary, for it was he who invited me 

 into the covert. So, too, the merit of whatever 

 has been accomplished is not mine, but belongs 

 first of all to Mr. H. Le Jeune, to whose research and energy the 

 rediscovery of the Hemsworth site is entirely due. He started 

 the exploration, and by Lord Alington's consent and at his 

 expense, and by the keen interest of his agent, Mr. C. B. Hill,* 

 the area, or as much of it as could be marked off for this season, 

 was fairly well searched, considering the late date, September, 

 at which work was begun. 



* Valuable service was also rendered by Mr. Linklater, of E. Hemsworth, 

 and by his friend, Mr. Scott- Orr, in first tracing out and protecting the 

 remains.
