 By M, G. STUART, M.A., F.G.S. 



The work of the Season 1890-1891 has comprised the Annual Meeting 

 at the County Museum, Dorchester, on Thursday, June 5th, 1890 ; 

 a meeting at Portland on Wednesday, July 16th ; a Two Days' Meeting 

 at Sherborne on Thursday and Friday, August 28th and 29th ; a Meeting 

 at Kushmore on Tuesday, September 23rd ; a Meeting in the County 

 Museum, Dorchester, on November 28th ; and another in the Museum on 

 February 24th, 1891. During this Season 35 new members have been 

 elected to the Club, and three members have been lost by death viz., 

 Colonel Hambro, M.P., of Milton Abbey; the Rev. Edward Dayman, of 

 Shillingstone ; and the Rev. J. H. House, of Winterborne Anderson. 

 The total number of members on the List of the Club at the end of the 

 Season stood at 268. The Eleventh Volume of " Proceedings," owing to 

 difficulties in completing some of the plates, was not issued until 

 January, 1891. 



THE ANNUAL MEETING AT DORCHESTER, June 5th, 1890, was well 

 attended. The Treasurer, the Rev. O. P. Cambridge, read the Financial 

 Report for the year 1889-90. He said that their position was a 

 satisfactory one, inasmuch as they commenced the year with a balance of 

 15 Os. 9d. and ended it with one of 26 5s. 10d., whilst the heavy bills 

 for printing the last volume of the "Proceedings" (Vol. x.) had been 

 discharged. He wished to thank the Members for the greater regularity 

 they had shown in paying their subscriptions. During the year the 

 Club had lost two honorary members by death, two ordinary members by 

 death, and seven by resignation, leaving the total number of ordinary 

 members at 252. During the year a sum of 22 7s. had been received by 

 the sale of surplus copies of the " Proceedings" of the Club, which 

 showed, he thought, that their publications were appreciated.
