The Report. 32^ 



" The Museum. — The most notable additions to the Museum are 

 the fine series of pottery vessels and other objects of the late Celtic 

 or Eomano-British period, found by Mr. and Mrs. Cunnington 

 during their excavations at Knap Hill and Casterley Camps. These 

 fill an entire new wall case, which the existence of the Museum 

 Maintenance Fund has enabled the Committee to provide. Another 

 most valuable gift is that of two of the large Koman pewter dishes 

 found many years ago at Manton and since then preserved at 

 Theobalds Park, by Lady Meux. For these the Society is indebted 

 to Admiral Sir Hedworth Lambton, K.C.B. A series of about 

 eighty Palaeolithic implements from Knowle Farm Pit was pur- 

 chased from the Eev. H. G. 0. Kendall, half of the purchase money 

 (£3 55.) being contributed by four Members of the Society, the 

 other half being provided by the Maintenance Fund. 



"Part IE. of the Catalogue of Antiquities is now in the press, 

 and it is hoped that it may be issued to members this year. 



"The number of visitors to the Museum during 1910 was 1020. 



" The Library. — The Society has received, as usual, a considerable 

 number of gifts, and the Library grows steadily in completeness. 

 Among the gifts has been a series of family deeds given by Mrs. 

 Buxton, of Tockenham. The Committee desire once more to 

 impress on all Members of the Society that the Hon. Librarian 

 will thankfully receive any and all papers, books, pamphlets, 

 deeds, prints, and illustrations, however unimportant in themselves, 

 ; whether new or old, if they are connected with the County of 

 ; Wilts. In accordance with leave given to the Librarian at a 

 previous General Meeting, a certain number of odd vohinios of 

 sets of books, not in any way connected witli the county, have 

 been sold out of the Library.
