with a feather in it was also preserved ; but one of the servants stole 

 the hat because she wanted the feather. Mr. F. J. BARNES said that at 

 Portland at the same period, over a hundred years ago, there was what 

 was named the Portland Legion, No. 11. They had colours (or a 

 colour), which some time ago were kept in Pennsylvania Castle. A 

 hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Baskett for his exhibit. 



PAPERS. 



THE BOY BISHOP. Canon RAVENHILL read an interesting 

 paper on " The Boy Bishop in Salisbury Cathedral." He 

 first exhibited a volume of Gregory's Tracts, one of which, 

 having as a frontispiece an engraving of the figure of the boy 

 bishop, with the date 1649, bears the title " Episcopus 

 Puerorum, in die Innocentium. Or, a discoverie of an ancient 

 custom in the Church of Sarum, making an anniversarie 

 Bishop among the Choristers." The Rev. C. W. H. DICKER 

 also read some supplementary notes furnished by Mr. 

 Fremantle, the chief verger. The PRESIDENT expressed the 

 pleasure of the Club at hearing so ab~e a paper by one of the 

 few remaining original members. 



DORSET MEMORIAL BRASSES. Mr. W. DE C. PRIDEAUX 

 read a long and interesting paper in continuation of his series 

 on " The Ancient Memorial Brasses of Dorset," of which he 

 is making so extensive a collection of rubbings, and some 

 interesting exhibits in connection therewith. (P. 213.) 



SPIDERS. The PRESIDENT read the introduction of a 

 further instalment of the Rev. 0. Pickard-Cambridge's work 

 on " New and Rare British Arachnids." (P. 33.)

 FLETCHER, vicar of Wimborne Minster, and a keen antiquary,

 borne Anglo-Saxon Saints," a paper, be it noted, compiled as 

 the results of original research in the British Museum Library. 

 (P. 199.)
