exhibited, and which bore such names as chill, crusie, &c. They 

 were indebted, he said, to Miss M. A. Courtney, and to her 

 sister Mrs. Oliver, of New Zealand, for some of them. He had 

 also brought into the group, rush-lights and their various 

 burners and lantern, a tinder box, &c,, and a remarkable appar- 

 atus from Burmah, by which a light could be obtained by the 

 friction caused by a sharp blow of the hand. The next subject 

 to which he would direct attention was the exact similarity of a 

 Tile found in Luxulyan Church, to the Moorish Tiles given to 

 the Museum by Mr. J. Osborne, and brought from Spain. He 

 also shewed a very fine cauldron apparently Eoman. 



Before concluding his remarks, the Chairman called atten-

 trated volume by the Rev. W. lago, on the " Inscribed Stones " 

 of the County, which has long been in preparation ; a work on 

 " The Crosses of Cornwall " having meanwhile been issued by 

 Mr. Langdon. 



Mr. A. L. Lewis, F.C.A., who on a former occasion had 

 given a paper on "Rude Stone Monuments on Bodmin Moor,"

 he thought bore considerable resemblance to " King Arthur's 

 Hall," in Cornwall. 



Mr. ExTPERT Vallentin, of Falmouth, contributed certain 

 particulars relating to "Oyster Cultivation," detailing experi- 

 ments tried in 1895-6. 



Eev. W. Iago, B.A,, described a most valuable and interest- 

 ing historical manuscript which relates to Cornwall, and has 

 never yet been published with perfect accuracy. It may be 

 described as " The Anglo-Saxon Eecord in the Bodmin Book of 

 the Gospels." He had lately devoted considerable care to the 

 making of a correct copy of all its Latin and Anglo-Saxon 

 entries, and hoped to publish it in the Society's Journal. Mr. 

 Enys had kindly met a large part of the expense which had been
