JAMES APJOHN, M. D., Vice-President, 



in the Chair. 



Arthur Leared, M. B., was elected a Member of the Aca- 

 demy. 



It was Resolved, on the recommendation of the Council : — 

 That a sum not exceeding £50 be placed at the disposal 



of the Committee appointed to prepare a Catalogue of the 



Museum. 



The Secretary presented, for Major John Bonner, a bronze 

 pin, found with a quantity of human bones, on the lands of 

 Henry Gillespie, Esq., near Rathfarnham ; for R. M. Carnegie, 

 Esq., a copper hatchet-head ; and for Pakenham Mahon, Esq., 

 a circular impression on wood, produced, apparently, by a red- 

 hot iron stamp, found in Clonfinn Lough. 



The Secretary exhibited, for John Moorehead, M. D., a 

 portion of the horn of an Irish elk, found under four feet of peat 

 and five feet of blue clay, in the Public Drainage Works at 

 Annagh-na-Carrig, Newbliss, County Monaghan, by Mr. Coe, 

 Civil Engineer. Dr. Moorehead was satisfied, from inquiries 

 made by himself, that the fragment of horn was now in the 

 same state in which it was when disinterred, yet its surface 

 contains various marks made with a knife, together with the 

 letters J and E in Roman characters. 



Rev. H. Lloyd exhibited a number of autograph letters, 



the property of Lynch, Esq., by Lord Lyttleton, Lord 



Chesterfield, the Duke of Northumberland (1766), Alexander 

 Pope, Dean Swift, Esq., and Sir Humphrey Davy (1811).
