easy in future, by a simple reference to these maps and the " List " 

 •to identify any given barrow, and to find out without further 

 trouble what is known of its history and contents. It is hoped 

 that this attempt to codify all that is recorded of the early remains 

 of the county may be of real use to future investigators. We have 

 to thank Mrs. Story Maskelyne for a donation of £4 towards the 

 illustration of the Magazine. 



The Museum. The principal additions to the library have been 

 already noted above. In the Natural History portion of the 

 Museum the geological collections have been carefully overhauled, 

 re-labelled, and arranged by Mrs. Cunnington, under the expert 

 direction and advice of Mr. C. H. Cunnington, of the Geological 

 Survey. This entailed a large amount of work, with the result 

 that these collections are now greatly improved and are to some 

 extent worthy to take their place beside the archseological col- 

 lections. Attention is also being paid to the collection of Wiltshire 

 Plants in the herbarium. The list of Birds is being completed by 

 Mr. G. Hony. The collection of Lepidoptera has received some 

 additions. Mr. E. Cook, under whose care it is, appeals to members 

 and others to send him either set or unset specimens of uncommon 

 species of moths from any part of the county. Unfortunately a 

 heavy expense of some £56 has to be met during the current year 

 for repairs to the Museum roof. This will come into the accounts 

 for 1914. 



The Register of Bishop Simon of Ghent. — Some twenty-five 

 members of the Society sent in their names some time ago as 

 subscribers to this work, to be issued by the Canterbury and York 

 Society. In consequence, however, of the illness and death of Mr. 

 A. E. Maiden, the work of transcription was interrupted, but the 

 first part of the work will probably be published this year. 



Excavations. — During the year the excavations at Old Sarum, 

 which were visited by the Society last August, have been carried 

 on as before, under the superintendence of Sir W. H. St. John 

 Hope and Col. Hawley, on behalf of the Society of Antiquaries. 

 The chief work done has been the uncovering of the foundations 

 of the Saxon and Norman Cathedral. A separate report has been
