XXXVIU. THE FIRST "WINTER MEETING. 



Pottery. — An imperfect black ware urn, part of a fluted vessel 

 of " New Forest" ware and many fragments of this ware, and of 

 Caistor and other well-known Roman sorts. 



Glass. — Two fragments, pale greenish and dull white. 



Stone. — A large upper quern stone and part of another, a 

 roughly-shaped tool of Purbeck rag-stone, a loom-weight of 

 chalk. 



Iron. — A javelin head and stylus. 



Kimmeridge Shale. — Fragments of two armlets. 



Concrete. — A bit of very good quality, part of the bed of a floor. 



Bojie. — Two spindle-whorls made of the ends of human 

 femora. In illustration of this strange find, a similar whorl 

 from Winchester is shown in the ]Museum. 



Quite apart from this building, IMr. Cunnington is said to have 

 found evidence of Roman edifices on a smaller scale and of 

 plain style. Of this part of his discoveries, however, the writer 

 possesses no particulars. 



These two finds of buildings stand quite alone as regards 

 Maiden Castle, and are amongst the most noteworthy of ]\Ir. 

 Cunnington's antiquarian successes. 



3. By the Hon. Sec, "The Problem of Lynchets," illustrated 

 from Delimitation Charters and other sources, by work done 

 during the past summer, and by diagrams and photographs. 

 This paper is printed in full in the body of the book. 



4. In the absence of Canon Raven, D.D., F.S.A., who was 

 examining for the University of Oxford, the Hon. Editor read 

 the first section of the "Church Bells of Dorset," which will 

 be found amongst the papers. 



The meeting soon after closed.
