SECOND WINTER MEETING. xliii. 



PAPERS. 



The Rev. 0. Pickard-Cambridge had been unable to finish 

 his paper on British arachnids ; therefore it was taken as 

 read, as was also the paper by Mr. W. de C. Prideaux on 

 Dorset memorial brasses. 



Mr. W. R. G. Bond had prepared an article on Magic which 

 was read by the President, the author being then in the 

 Soudan. 



The Hon. Secretary read the introduction to Mr. E. A. 

 Fry's transcript of the Dorset entries in the Augmentation 

 books at Lambeth Palace, relating to the appointment and 

 subsequent history of the clergy during the Commonwealth 

 period. A portion of the transcript will be printed in the 

 following pages. 



Colonel Mainwaring exhibited a fragment of a meteorite 

 which fell at Dharmsala, India, on 14th July, 1860, and read 

 some notes thereon. The occurrence had been already 

 chronicled in the respective Proceedings of the Royal Society 

 and the Geological Society.
