"The Tonkin MSS." were the subject of some interesting 

 remarks from the Eev. C. M. E. Collins, of Trewardale, through 

 whom these and some old publications of local historical value 

 were presented to the museum. The Eev. F. "W. Pye, Eector of 

 Blisland, and grandson of a former Rector of Truro, presented 

 (throtigh Mr. Collins) four of the parts of the long-missing 

 Tonkin's History — documents which were left by Tonkin, and 

 which were used subsequently by Davies Gilbert for his history.

 Journal. Curiously enough, Sir John Maclean was now able to

 Grilbert says was missing.

The Bishop of Teuro, in proposing a vote of thanks to the 

 President, said he believed he was the junior member of that 

 Institution, and he begged to thank the members very much for 

 conferring the honour of proposing this vote upon him. They 

 were indebted to the High Sheriff, not only for filling the chair 

 with dignity, but also for the great ability displayed in his
