388 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 



record. Mr. Beringer's article on Jolin Mayow, cheraist and 

 physician, contains pleasant reading, as does also the paper by 

 Mr. H. Michell Whitley, on Sir Henry De Bodrugan. Mr. 

 Jeffery quotes the Petition from St. Mawes asking to be allowed 

 to rebuild the old Chapel-of-ease. The Rev. 8. Ruudle writes 

 of Tregonning Hill and its Surroundings, also on Cornishisms 

 in Ancient Literature. Mr. Wiinsch arouses geological specula- 

 tions in a refreshing way when treating of the Lizard rocks. 

 An archseological paper of value, with illustrations, relating to 

 the neighbourhood of Brown Willy, is from the able pen of the 

 Rev. A. H. Malan, — and a paper on the Tywardreth Priors 

 reminds us of the wide area over which our Journal is read — 

 for this account was received for insertion from Melbourne, 

 Australia, where the writer of it, Mr. Sincock, resides. 



The Annual Excursion took place on Tuesday, 5th of 

 September. The route selected was from Marazion to Pengers- 

 wick Castle, Germoe, Tregonning Hill, Grodolphin Hall, Breage, 

 and Helston. The party, numbering, about 40, assembled at 

 the Marazion station, and proceeded to the castle, where the 

 Eev. W. S. Lach-Szyrma related the legend connected with the 

 spot, gathered from the old people of the neighbourhood. Grermoe 

 was next reached, where luncheon was provided, after which 

 the church was inspected, and St. Grermoe's Chair, under the 

 guidance of the Eev. W. A. Osborne, the curate in charge. On 

 Tregonning Hill being attained, one of the finest views in West 

 Cornwall was seen, embracing the country from St. Agnes nearly 

 to the Land's End. Grodolphin Hall was next visited by the kind 

 permission of Mr. Posewarne, who shewed the excursionists over 

 the place, including the gardens. After the party had been 

 photographed by the Eev. A. H. Malan, a start was made for 

 Helston. Breage Church, which contains the largest bell in 

 Cornwall, and also the tomb of Margaret Godolphin the famous 

 Maid of Honour, was to have been visited, but time did not 

 permit. The proceedings were brought to a close by a dinner 

 at the Angel Hotel, Helston. 



During the winter, Monthly Meetings have been held, at 

 which many instructive papers have been read.
