MEETINGS. 9 



to a large audience by Mr. L. V. Lester-Garland, M.A., 

 Principal of Victoria College, Jersey, on " Norway." 



The lecturer graphically described the glorious natural 

 scenery of the country, and touched on practically every 

 object and spot of interest to the ordinary visitor, interspers- 

 ing his remarks with many personal incidents which had 

 occnrred t'., him in the course of several visits to Norway. 

 Every point of the lecture was made clear by a very fine 

 series of lantern slides, which left nothing to be desired 

 except a visit tw that charming countiy. Mr. Lester-Grarland 

 crossed over to Guernsey the same morning in one of the 

 worst storms of the season, and the President thanked him 

 very warmly, not only for his excellent lectnre, but for having 

 at so great inconvenience to himself kept his appointment^

 Church and the Yale Church there still exist the matrices 

 where brasses once stood, but have been removed. 



^\y. LufF exhibited a living specimen of a species of Tree 

 Lizard which had been found lately in a bunch of bananas

Mr. Derrick gave particulars of an old house near the 

 Catel Hospital, now^ used as a barn, which contains two 

 handsome old open stone fire-places Avith carved stone corbels, 

 a piscina, and a niche ; the whole rather suggestive of an 

 ecclesiastical building of some sort. Dr. Duncan mentioned

 Derrick had just spoken of. Mr. Collenette mentioned
