had been begun in 1908 and 1909. The Wiltshire Archaeological 

 Society is not in a position as a rule to make grants from its funds 

 either towards works of excavation or of restoration, but a sum of 

 £17 4s. 6c?. was subscribed this year by eight Members of the 

 Society as a contribution towards the work, which it was hoped 

 might have been finished this year. Unexpected difficulties, how- 

 ever, arose and prevented this from being done, and after the 

 clearing out of another section of the ditch, the bottom of which 

 proved to be 18ft. below the present level of the soil, the work 

 was abandoned for the year, and the Wiltshire contributions were 

 banked, to be used, it is hoped, when the present difficulties have 

 been overcome. Mr. and Mrs. Cunnington carried their excavation

 Camp a stage further in the autumn of 1910, and have this year

 results of these excavations also may be printed.

 being the two last parts of vol. xxxvi., including a very full Index. 

 Altogether in 1910 Members received 585 pages of Wiltshire 

 material, a larger amount than has ever before been issued by the 

 Society. The whole of the Members have thus directly benefitted 

 by the existence of the Museum Maintenance Fund, which has 

 relieved the pressure on the General Fund, and by the success of 

 the two recent Annual Meetings. The Society has to thank Mr. 

 E. Towry White, F.S.A., for the kind gift of £2 2s. towards the 

 €Ost of illustrating his paper in the Magazine. 



" The Annual Meeting at Calne was, thanks largely to Dr. 

 Ferguson's work as Local Secretary, a great success, and, as has 

 been said, the balance handed to the Society was larger even than
