MEETINGS. 61 



adjacent islands depend for their success so much on the 

 weather on the fixed day, that one is not surprised that they 

 occasionally fall through as did that to Sark, but good work 

 was done by the few members who ventured to Alderney. 

 At the walking excursion to Jerbourg, the course of the 

 north boundary of the fortifications was traced for about 100 

 yards ; we may hear more of this later. Various other 

 interesting points in the peninsula were also revisited. The 

 first official visit to Anneville enables us to record the 

 continued existence of two old arched doorways, also part 

 of the dressed-stone front of the more modern mansion, 

 also various walls connected with the old enclosures, and 

 the undisturbed condition of the old moat-surrounded warren. 

 The visit to 1'Ancresse enabled members to observe the 

 results of the efforts made under the directions of the States' 

 authorities for the preservation of the great dolmen, now 

 enclosed by a railing.
