1917.] MEETINGS. 9 



Miss Edith Carey had also prepared a short paper deal- 

 ing with four Royal Visits to Guernsey which had taken place 

 between 1765 and 1818. 



Colonel T. W. M. de Guerin gave an account of the 

 discovery made by him of some markings on one of the cap- 

 stones of the Dehus Dolmen. These markings consisted of 

 two curved lines meeting at one end, but becoming indistinct 

 towards the other end. Competent persons to whom he had 

 pointed them out endorsed his opinion that these markings 

 were the work of man, and were most probably made by the 

 dolmen builders. A note on this subject by Colonel de Guerin 

 will be found in another part of these Transactions.

 December 19th, 1917, Mr. E. Chepmell Ozanne, President, in
