The President said he desired to thank the members for 

 electing him President two years ago, and he would congratu- 

 late the Society upon having secured so distinguished a 

 Cornishman as the Pight Hon. Leonard H. Courtney, M.P., as 

 his successor in the chair. He was sure they were all pleased 

 to learn that Mr. Courtney had accepted the office, as he would 

 be an honour to the Society, and they might look forward with 

 confidence to some able addresses which he would deliver from 

 the chair. Having referred to the losses which the Society had 

 sustained by deaths, he referred to the visit of the Cambrian 

 Society this year. They, he said, visited the east and north of 

 the county, and were everywhere received with the greatest 

 cordiality and kindness. They were desirous of visiting the 

 Bodmin district, and that, he hoped, they would do before long. 

 The visit had thrown light on their Cornish antiquities, and 

 they were able to be of mutual benefit one to another, the 

 great object of that and kindred Societies. They must in 

 examining their own antiquities do so in connection with the 

 cognate antiquities of Wales and Brittany. 



The following papers were then read : — 



" The Archdeaconry Records at Bodmin, Cornwall," by 

 Eev. W. lago, B.A. 



"Explorations on Carn Brea," by Mr. Thurstan C. Peter. 



"The Functions of Colour and Smell of Fungi," by Mr. 

 T. H. Davey. 



" Reminiscences of Dr. L. H. Potts," by Mr. Hamilton 

 James. 



The Rev. W. lago having called attention to the Henwood 

 gold medal, which would be open for competition next year, 

 referred to the movement being organised in Falmouth to erect 

 a monument to the Heroes of the old Falmouth Packets. The 

 Falmouth people had organised a fund for the purpose, and as 

 Mr. Enys represented the county in the matter, he hoped the 

 fund would not be confined to Falmouth.
