greater importance than those noted in last year's Trans- 

 actions. As these are to form the subject of a Meeting to be 

 held next month, it would not be advisable to anticipate that 

 meeting, and the full description of the markings will be 

 deferred until next year's report. 



The coming to an end of the war and the resumption of 

 normal life brings one or two problems before us, notably that 

 of the ultimate destination of Herm. As is well known, this 

 island is full of evidence of its prehistoric inhabitants. 

 Owing to its inacessability it is not suitable for excursions, 

 but there is no doubt that even the Lukises left much unex- 

 plored, and a further effort would be probably rewarded with 

 new finds. We hear rumours of hotels and golf-courses to be 

 established on the island, and some time ago His Majesty's 

 Receiver-General promised that the question of the preserva- 

 tion of the ancient monuments there would not be lost sight of 

 in the granting of any lease or other disposal of the island. 

 At that we must leave it for the present with a watchful eye 

 on the future.
