ANNUAL MEETING. 257 



was a great friend of Camden, the antiquary. What had become 

 of his collection nobody knew until about two or three years ago, 

 when it turned up at a sale and was bought for the University 

 library at Cambridge. It was a huge volume, in which Nicholas 

 Eoscarrock had written down all the names of the British saints 

 he could find. He (Mr. Baring-Grould) had spent eighteen months 

 in Brittany picking up the traditions and records. The Breton 

 antiquaries had worked entirely on the material they had there 

 at hand, just as the work in Wales and Ireland and Cornwall had 

 been independent of Brittany. The saints came from Wales, halted 

 in Cornwall (a sort of half-way house) and went on to Brittany. 

 It was very much the same with the Irish saints. What was 

 needed was the fusing together of the traditions found in Wales, 

 Ireland, Cornwall and Brittany, and then they would be likely 

 to get as complete a record as possible of the lives of those 

 men who founded so many churches in this land (applause). 



The following papers were read at this meeting : — the Eev. 

 D. G. Whitley on " Footprints of vanished races in Cornwall;" 

 by the Eev. Chancellor Edmonds, of Exeter, on " The Episcopal 

 Eegisters of the Diocese ; " and by Mr. Eupert Yallentin on 

 " The Falkland Islands, revisited." This jDaper was illustrated 

 by lantern slides of great beauty and interest, and was of much 

 value scientifically. It is not, however, sufficiently " local " to 

 justify its being printed in the journal. A paper by Mr. Arthur P. 

 Jenkin, of Eedruth, on " Library Co-operation," contained some 

 practical suggestions for extending the use of rare and expensive 

 works in our public libraries, and was referred to the Council for 

 consideration. 



Mr. Eobert Fox ]3roposed a vote of thanks to the contribu- 

 tors of papers and the donors to the library and museum. He 

 remembered the time when they attended the meetings of the 

 Institution as a sort of duty, and listened to papers more or less 

 erudite, but not often very amusing, but that afternoon they had 

 been favoured with perfect gems (applause.) One of the donors, 

 Mr. Enys, had done a thing which was worthy of him and his 

 name (applause), and he (Mr. Fox) suggested that a brass tablet 

 should be provided, recording the name of the Cornishman who 

 for love of his county allowed the collection to remain therein,
