Monthly Meeting held November 20th, 1895, Mr. A. Collenette, 

 President, in the chair. 



This meeting, postponed from November 13th, was so 

 badly attended that no business was done beyond the reading 

 of a letter from Dr. H. Woodward, stating that the small jaws 

 found in the peat at l'Ancresse, and which he could not deter- 

 mine while in Guernsey, proved to be those of a dog or fox in 

 the milk tooth stage. 



Professor G. Henslow, to whom specimens of wood found 

 in the same deposit had been sent for identification, stated in 

 a note to the President that he had " examined the wood sent 

 and could find nothing but hazel." 



A detailed list of the bones, &c, found in this deposit 

 appears elsewhere in this number.
