xlviii. THE SECOND WINTER MEETING. 



Captain J. E. ACLAND described the hand-made button 

 industry which was carried on in the eastern part of the county 

 during the eighteenth century and later. This home industry 

 had been happily revived during recent years. 



The Rev. O. PICKARD -CAMBRIDGE had written a paper on 

 " New and rare Arachnida noted in 1913," which was read on 

 his behalf by the President. 



The Rev. E. F. LINTON, of Edmondsham, contributed the 

 first part of a paper on the Fungi of East Dorset. Sir DANIEL 

 MORRIS, as a brother botanist, thanked Mr. Linton for his 

 researches and said that he had promised a botanical paper 

 to the Congress of Scientific Societies which would meet at 

 Bournemouth in June next. 



The foregoing papers will be printed in the present volume. 



Mr. W. Neville Sturt had prepared an article on " The com- 

 mercial daybook (1713-18) of John Richards, of Warmwell," 

 but it was postponed to the next indoor meeting, as the writer 

 was absent in Germany.
