MEETINGS. Ill 



Mr. Derrick reported two additions to the plants of 

 Herm, and the appearance of three rather rare plants in 

 Guernsey. 



A large and peculiar fish was caught off St. Martin's 

 point, and exposed for sale in the market. Mr. Collenette, 

 curator, purchased it for the Museum, and forwarded it to 

 London for identification. It proved to be a very rare species, 

 Luvarus imperialism and appears to have no English name. 

 It frequents deep waters only, and has been caught mostly 

 in more southern latitudes. A cast of it has been made and 

 will be exhibited in the Museum. 



Monthly Meeting held November 19th, 1902, Mr. W. Sharp, 

 President, in the chair. 



Mr. Mollet exhibited photo of aloe in bloom {Agave 

 Americana). 



Mr. Luff exhibited an interesting variety of the large 

 Heath Butterfly (Epinephele tithonus), found by Mr. F. 

 Heaume, Forest; also 'Caddis Flies and two Hemerobiidce, 

 found in Alderney, all three new to that list. 



Mr. J. L. Pitts showed a Genealogy of the Sarchet 

 family, a member of which, Thomas Sarchet, went from 

 Guernsey to Cambridge, Ohio, in 1806. There are now living 

 in Guernsey County, 49 males, lineal descendants of this 

 Thomas Sarchet. 



Mr. H. Marquand read an account of two attempts — one 

 in April and one in May, this year — to explore the abandoned 

 silver-lead mine in the cliff, between Moulin Huet Bay and 

 Petit Port, with the three singular caves which are situated 

 there. A section of the caves, which are one above the other, 

 was shown. An interesting discussion ensued on the way in 

 which these caves were formed, the traces of raised beaches 

 and the supposed masonry in the upper cave. 



Annual Meeting 



Held on Wednesday, December 17th, 1902, Mr. W. Sharp, 

 President, in the chair. 



Mr. L. Pitts exhibited two celts, which Miss Guille, of 

 36, Hauteville, has been good enough to present to the 

 Museum of this institution. One is composed of rough grit 

 stone, and is identified by Captain Lukis as a celt that was 

 many years ago figured by his late father as No. XX. in his
