additions to its shelves, not only from various parts of this 

 country but also from the continent of Europe, from our 

 Colonies, and from the United States. 



During the past year, two numbers of the Journal have been 

 issued, Nos. 41 and 42. From these it will be seen that the 

 Society is not likely to fall back frooa its position of usefulness, 

 as various important facts and investigations are recorded, and 

 others are noted as in progress. 



The papers printed in both numbers are of varied interest, 

 treating of Archaeology, Geology, Biology, Botany, Modern 

 History, and other branches of Literature and Science. Two of 

 those who wrote excellent papers in the Journals passed away, 

 by death, viz : Sir John Maclean, F.E.S.A. and Mr. E. N. 

 "Worth, F.Gr.S. Very important explorations on Carn Brea 

 having been made by Mr. Peter, with the sanction of Mr. 

 Basset of Tehidy, full particulars and excellent illustrations 

 of the discoveries appear. The objects found, throw great 

 light on the prehistoric condition of Cornwall, and these now 

 enrich the Museum of the Society through Mr. Basset's 

 kindness. 



The Henwood Gold Medal which is awarded triennially 

 according to the will of the late Mr. Wm. Jory Henwood, 

 F.E.S., has been awarded to Mr. Thurstan Collins Peter, of 

 Eedruth, by a fully constituted meeting of the Council which was 

 held after due notice on the 6th of August last. His paper on 

 the exploration of Carn Brea appeared in the 42nd number of 

 the Journal, and was considered the best qualified to win the 

 Medal of all those which had been contributed during the last 

 3 years. The Presentation of the Medal to Mr. Peter will take 

 place in the course of the present proceedings.

 ing examination of ancient remains on his property near 

 Kynance, and, during the Autumn excursion, a British Village 

 was consequently explored, with satisfactory results.
