The Annual General Meeting. 191 



sum could not be got in Wiltshire itself, but as the excavations at 

 Old Sarum would to some extent take the place of those at 

 Silchester — now completed — it was hoped that many of those 

 who had subscribed to the former Work would continue their 

 subscriptions for Old Sarum. What the Wiltshire Archaeological 

 Society had to do that day was to appoint a Local Committee for 

 the county — not necessarily Members of the Society — who should 

 co-operate with the representatives appointed by the Dean and 

 Chapter, and with the delegates of the Society of Antiquaries, in 

 whose hands the actual carrying out of the work would be for the 

 most part left, in raising funds and in other ways helping on the 

 work. If all went well the foundations of the Norman castle 

 might be laid bare this September. 



The adoption of the Eeport was moved by MR. W. HEWAED 

 BELL, F.S.A., and seconded by MR. R. STONE, the former dwelling 

 on the fact that, in the long line of Presidents of the Society, none 

 could be found more distinguished than the President for 1909, 

 DR. BEDDOE. 



The Committee, with the addition of THE REV. F. H. MANLEY, 

 as Local Secretary for the Malmesbury district, the Hon. Secretaries, 

 Curator, and other Officers of the Society, were then duly re-ap- 

 pointed, a special tribute being paid by MR. W. HEWARD BELL 

 to the good work done at the Museum by MR. AND MRS. 

 CUNNINGTON. 



THE REV. E. P. KNUBLEY then rose to move the appointment 

 of the Local Committee for the Excavation of Old Sarum, as 

 follows:— DR. J. BEDDOE, F.R.S. (President of the Wilts Arch. Soc). 

 THE EARL OF PEMBROKE, LORD FITZMAURICE, THE BISHOP 

 OF BRISTOL, SIR E. TENNANT, BART., M.P., H. E. MEDLICOTT.

 HAWLEY, F.S.A., 1 in addition to the three gentlemen who act as 

 Local Secretaries of the Society of Antiquaries for the County of 



1 As Col. Hawley is one of the delegates appointed by the Society of 

 Antiquaries (the other two being Messrs. W. H. St. John Hope and Mill 

 Stephenson, F.S.A., his place on the Local Committee is vacant.
