64 ANNUAL MEETING. 



The usual Meteorological Observations have been made 

 throughout the year by the Curator, and reports furnished to the 

 Registrar General, the Cornwall County Council, and to the Press. 



The Institution is again indebted to Mr. J. C. Daubuz, 

 Killiow; Mr. W. J. Lean, Truro Waterworks; and to Mr. H. 

 Tresawna, Lamellyn, for returns of the rainfall in their respective 

 districts. 



In response to the request of the Council, Mr. Gr. Penrose, 

 Our Curator, has prepared a Summary of the Meteorological 

 Observations made and recorded at this Institution during the 

 years 1882 to 1900 inclusive. This in conjunction with the 

 Summary for the years 1840 to 1881, published by the late Dr. 

 Barham in 1883, will form an unbroken meteorological record 

 from 1840 to the end of the century. The work is of great 

 interest and importance, and the Summary will be printed in the 

 next number of the Journal. 



The 47th number of the Journal, published in May last, 

 dontains many papers of permanent value. This number 

 completes the 14th volume of the Journal. 



The Annual Excursion took place on Thursday, the 25th 

 July. 



The Committee appointed by the Council to prepare a list of 

 the Mural Paintings and other traces of coloured decoration, now 

 and formerly existing in Cornish Churches as far as can be 

 ascertained, have steadily proceeded with their task during the 

 past twelve months, and their report has now been completed ; 

 although before the list is published some further doubtful points 

 will require to be cleared up. 



It will be the duty of the Council in the spring of the coming 

 year to again award the Henwood Gold Medal, which will be 

 given for the best paper in the judgment of the Council which 

 has appeared in the Journal during the last three years. 



Mr. J. C. Williams having filled the office of President for 

 the last two years now retires, and the Council have pleasure in 

 proposing as President, Sir Robert Harvey, a native of Truro, 

 and a generous donor to this Institution. They further nominate 

 the following to hold office during the ensuing year :
