REPORT OF THE FOLK-LORE SECTION. 



I think that the members of this Society will agree that 

 so far as the Folk-lore Section is concerned, the chief event 

 of the scientific year has been the publication (October 12th, 

 1903) of the long-expected and valuable volume of " Guernsey

 which for more than half a century he had been a member,

 and Jurats supplemented, from a fund of their own, the 

 sum that Sir Edgar had designated for publication purposes ; 

 the work was placed in the hands of Mr. Clarke, of the 

 States Arcade, and the result is the large and handsome 

 volume which we now possess, and which has been brought
