and bone implements, and a variety of articles of a domestic, war- 

 like, or sepulchral character, most of which had been exhumed 

 from the barrows of Wiltshire, and all of which were freely opened 

 to the inspection of the Society by the present owner, Sir Henry 

 Hoare. After dining at the Inn at Stourton the journey was con- 

 tinued to Pen Pits, Pen Church, and Gillingham; and so back to 

 Shaftesbury. We cannot conclude our report of this congress 

 without a word of praise to the inhabitants of Shaftesbury, who 

 from the first moment of the proposal of the Society to visit their 

 town being made known to them, were indefatigable in all their 

 arrangements. We would particularly name the Local Secretaries, 

 (the Rev. H. T. Glyn, and Mr. Bennett), the Curator of the 

 Museum (Mr. W. Batten), and the Chairman of the Committee, 

 the Worshipful the Mayor, Mr. Brine.
