114 REPORTS. 



The fourth excursion took place on July 16th to Perelle 

 and L'Eree. Owing to counter-attractions there were very 

 few members and visitors present. The menhir at Richmond 

 and the dolmen at Catioroc, otherwise *' Le Trepied,". were 

 examined, and also some geological observations "were made of 

 interest. 



The fifth excursion on August 1st, owing to the 

 mobilization of the Royal Guernsey Militia and the expected 

 outbreak of war, was so poorly attended that it was 

 abandoned. 



Another excursion which promised to be of exceptional 

 interest was to have taken place on August 22nd to Brecq'hou 

 and Sark, when an exceptionally low tide would have per- 

 mitted the Gouliot Caves to have been thoroughly examined ; 

 but owing to the outbreak of war, it was decided to cancel 

 this and any further excursions. 



Papers were read during the indoor sessions by Mr. A. 

 Collenette on the Rainfall and Sunshine of 1914, and also on 

 the Geological Results of the Summer Excursions, and by 

 Lieut.-Col. T. W. M. de Guerin, entitled "Notes on some old 

 Documents."

OBITUARY. 



We have to deplore the sudden death of Mr. W. Sharp, 

 on April 30th, 1914. He was in 1901-2 President of the 

 Society, and was probably the most regular attendant at 

 Council and Ordinary Meetings. His place as Editor of the 

 Transactions for many years will be difficult to fill. An 

 appreciation of his work in connection with the Society 

 appears in another part of the Transactions. 



The Council of the Society has again to offer its thanks 

 to the Directors of the Guille-Alles Library for their con- 

 tinued interest in its work, for the use of the room for the 

 meetings, for the Lantern and for the use of the Great Hall 

 for the Soiree, and also for its assistance in the production of 



slides for some of the meetings. 



The donations and exchanges during the year have 

 resulted in the following additions to the Society's Library :—
