and Mac Lauchlan. Since Borlase's time it has been torn from 

 the protecting masonry which supported it, near Slaughter Bridge, 

 and now, lying prostrate in the neighbouring marsh, it seems 

 almost to invite the destroyer. A representation of its condition 

 has been made to the proprietor of Worthyvale, in which it lies, 

 and we trust another year will not pass without steps being taken 

 to ensure its safety. 



During the winter months your Council propose to hold evening 

 meetings at the Society's Rooms. These meetings will, amongst 

 other advantages, afford opportunity for the consideration and dis- 

 cussion of topics which for want of time can be but imperfectly 

 treated at our Annual Meetings. 



The Institution during one fourth of its existence has had the 

 benefit of Dr. Jago's services as one of your Secretaries, but he 

 now desires to withdraAV. He will still favour us by undertaking 

 other duties, and we have nominated him one of your Vice-Presi- 

 dents. But we cannot permit his retirement from the ofiice he has 

 hitherto held to pass, without an expression of the high sense we 

 entertain of the zeal and ability he has so long devoted to us. 



The Council recommend the election of Colonel Tremayne as 

 a Trustee in the room of the late Sir C. Lemon, Bart. 



The Council recommend that Mr. Wm. Pengelly, F.R.S., whose 

 knowledge of the Antiquities and Geology of the West of England 

 will render him a valuable addition to your Society, and Mr. 

 John Maclean, F.S. A., the Author of " A History of Trigg Minor," 

 of much antiquarian research, and an able contributor to our 

 Journal, be elected as Honorary Members ; that Mr. Walter H. 

 Tregellas, who has already furnished us with valuable inform- 

 ation, be elected a Corresponding Member ; and that Mr. J. H. 

 Collins, F.G.S., and Mr. Nicholas Hare, Junr., be elected Associates. 

 During the last year we have had to regret the loss of Sir 

 William Williams, Bart., of Tregullow, one of our oldest members, 

 who for a period of more than 40 years was a steady supporter of 

 this Society.
