234 AJSTNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 



Mr. Whitley read a paper on "Traces of tlie Great Post- 

 Grlacial Flood in Cornwall." 



The E-ev. W. lago gave a description of Mawgan Cross, the 

 inscription on which was Latin ( Cnegvmi fill Genaivs). Mr. lago 

 also made feeling allusion to the death of Dr. Barham, and 

 spoke of the desirability of the Institution enlisting the sym- 

 pathies and co-operation of those residing in other parts of the 

 county besides Truro and the vicinity. 



The Eev. A. H. Malan read some notes illustrative of Sir 

 Eichard Grrenville's plot of Tintagel Castle, by Mr. H. MicheU 

 Whitley. 



Canon Cornish then read a letter from Mr Hare, with refer- 

 ence to Lansallos Church, as follows : — '' On the 7th November, 

 I attended the re-opening, by the Bishop of Truro, of Lansallos 

 Parish Church. The Eestoration of this Church has been only 

 very partially carried out from the want of funds. 'During the 

 progress of the work, the half of the basin of a round Norman 

 font was found, imbedded in the wall near the Tower arch. 

 There was also discovered beneath the flooring, portions of the 

 full length stone effigies of an armed warrior and his lady. It 

 is a great pity that further search was not made at the time for 

 the remaining fragments, so as to have completed the figures, 

 and it may be, have ascertained the name. The place was at 

 once filled in with cement. This will have to be removed before 

 any further discovery of the missing parts can be made. If the 

 dirt were cleaned off the shield borne by the knight on his left 

 arm, his coat of arms ought to be visible, and his identity and 

 date thus deciphered. When I saw them, the fragments both 

 of font and figures were cast out of the church, and lay on the 

 village graves. As I presume it is not intended to break them 

 up, it would be well that more care should be bestowed upon 

 them and, if not already done, to place them within the church 

 for safety, and finally restore them to their proper use. It might 

 be desirable for the Society to have the portions recovered, 

 photographed, or sketched, in case of further damage." 



Mr. W. J. Criddle moved and Mr. Bawden seconded a vote 

 of thanks to the officers for their past services, which was 

 carried.
