carried out there daring the last two years. The President having 

 thanked Mr. Gray for his paper, THE REV. E. P. KNUBLEY 

 proposed a vote of thanks to the Local Committee, and more 

 especially to the Local Secretaries, MR. A. W. N. BURDER, F.S.A., 

 and MR. TREVOR WHEELER, to whom the Society was very 

 greatly indebted for the enormous amount of labour tliey had 

 spent over the arrangements. Things throughout the Meeting had 

 gone absolutely without a hitch of any kind, a result which could 

 only be obtained by exceeding care and attention to detail on the 

 part of those who made the arrangements. THE REV. H. H. MOGG 

 having seconded, the vote of thanks was heartily accorded.

and in them, between that hour and 5.28, when they brought the 



party back to the station again, owing to the very careful and

j as much of the City of Bristol was seen as it was possible to see 



in one day. It was seen too, in comfort, without hurry or delay, 



and exactly according to the time table of the programme. Be- 



; ginning with the Church of ST. MARY REDCLYFFE, which was 



I described by DR. HARDY, and passing on by the curious old 



i HERMITAGE, in the Friend's Burial Ground, and CANYNGES 



HOUSE, the Council House was reached, where the magnificent
