of the United Kingdom, asking the Society to interest itself 

 in ethnographical work. It was resolved that the matter be 

 placed in the hands of the Council, who shall report to the 

 Society. 



It was also resolved that in future the monthly meetings 

 be held on the third Wednesday in each month. 



Monthly Meeting held October 21st, 1896, Mr. A. Collenette, 

 President, in the chair. 



After reading minutes of last meeting, Mr. P. E. 

 Robilliard, of the Piette, and Rev. F. E. Le Lievre, of St. 

 Martin's, were elected members. 



Miss Domaille exhibited a portion of a stone implement 

 found on the cliff at Petit Bot. 



Mr. Luff exhibited (1) an old work (1662) on Ento- 

 mology, by Goedaert, the Dutch painter, printed in Dutch, at 

 Middelburg. It is remarkable as being the first work of the 

 kind containing figures (coloured) of the caterpillars and 

 chrysalides. The author spent more than 40 years in studying 

 insect life. 



2. — A copy of an early map of the Channel Islands, date 

 1550, from the original MS. of Leland's Collectanas, Vol. III., 

 now in the Bodleian Library. 



3. — Also examples of the Hop or Artichoke Gall found 

 on the oak in September. This is the first record of this gall 

 for Guernsey. 



Mr. J. S. Hocart exhibited pieces of broken pottery from 

 the " Fairy's Well," near Fort Le Marchant, l'Ancresse. 

 These were of a similar character to those found at Richmond 

 and Ronceval, mentioned above. Mr. Royle followed with a 

 short account of the botanical work of the summer, and 

 Mr. Luff that of the Entomological Section. He noted four 

 additions to the Coleoptera and one to the Hemiptera. 



Mr. J. J. Carey exhibited several examples of masses of 

 baked clay found at Richmond and similar to those previously 

 found there by the Society, also pieces of pottery from the 

 same district and from the limpet bed some 20 yards away ; 

 also a (broken) jar of coarse pottery found in a wall at 

 Ronceval. 



The President then exhibited and commented on the 

 various bones, &c, found recently in the peat at l'Ancresse 

 and Cobo. This was followed by a discussion, which brought 

 a most interesting meeting to a close.
