 vote of thanks. 



The President then said that it was needful to elect a 

 new treasurer in consequence of Canon Mansel-Pleydell's 

 approaching departure, and expressed the regret of all at 

 losing the services and counsel of the retiring treasurer, who 

 had filled the office so admirably and with such advantage 

 to the Club. Mr. George Floyer added that the Bishop of 

 Salisbury had remarked that Canon Mansel-Pleydell and 

 Dorset could not long be separated, for he was Durotrigibus 

 ipsis Durolrigior. 



The retiring treasurer, after a few words of farewell, pro- 

 posed Captain Acland as his successor, and the resolution 

 was adopted by the meeting. 



Mr. Henry Symonds was re-elected as honorary editor of 

 the Proceedings. 



The Sectional Committees were respectively re-elected. 

 The names of the members will be found on p. xi.

 Vice -Presidents, with the addition of Captain Acland. 



Mr. Alfred Pope was chosen to represent the Club at the 

 meetings of the Corresponding societies in connection with 

 the meeting of the British Association at Manchester. 



Mr. E. A. Fry and Mr. Nigel Bond were chosen to fill a 

 similar office at the Congress of Archaeological Societies in 

 union with the Society of Antiquaries of London. 



In accordance with notice previously given, a modification 

 of Rule 8, whereby the remaining original members would 

 not be liable for further subscriptions after the current year, 

 was moved from the chair. A discussion followed, in the 

 course of which Canon Mansel-Pleydell and Captain 

 Acland mentioned certain objections under the existing 

 circumstances, and it was decided to defer the proposal. 



Finally, the President announced that the executive of 

 the Club had resolved, in exercise of the discretionary powers 

 given to them at the meeting in February, to suspend all the 

 out-door meetings usually held during the summer months.
