1915.] VISIT OF THE SOCTETE JEKSIAISE. 211 



for his kindness and hospitality the party returned to the 

 hotel. 



The evening of Wednesday was spent at the Guille-AUes 

 Library listening to a most interesting account of the Che- 

 vauchee of St. Michel by Miss E. F. Carey, illustrated by 

 lantern slides. The substance of the lecture appears else- 

 where in these Transactions. At the close Dr. R. R. Marett, 

 of Jersey, in proposing a vote of thanks to Miss Carey, 

 remarked on the invaluable service she was rendering future 

 generations in recording the old-time ceremonies and customs 

 attending the Chevauchee. He mentioned that the custom 

 of " beating the bounds " as the Chevauchee undoubtedly 

 was, was in force at the present day in Jersey in a modified 

 and modernized fashion, but without any of the picturesque 

 forms it partook of in Guernsey. Mr. R. R. Lempriere, 

 Vicomte of Jersey, seconded the vote of thanks in a happily 

 worded speech, and this was passed with acclamation. The 

 party broke up at 9.45. 



Thursday, August 5th, was very wet and disappointing. 

 The morning was taken up by a visit to the Lukis Museum. 

 The papers of the Lukis family were on view and the objects 

 of interest from the Dolmens were shown and explained by 

 Lieut.-Col. T. W. M. de Guerin, who had specially returned 

 for the purpose from his holiday in England. The general 

 consensus of opinion among the visitors was that Guernsey 

 was to be congratulated in possessing such priceless relics. 



The excursion by boat to Herm had perforce to be aban- 

 doned owing to the rough weather, and the visitors spent the 

 afternoon in various ways. 



On Friday, August 6th, the visitors, with some twenty 

 members of this Society, set out in motors for a drive, em- 

 bracing practically the circuit of the Island, to visit the 

 Dolmens under the guidance of Lieut.-Col. T. W. M. de 

 Guerin. Dehus ( Bordeaux), La Varde (l'Ancresse) and the 

 newly-discovered Dolmen at ITslet were visited before lunch 

 which was taken at Grande Rocque Hotel. In the afternoon 

 the Menhir, commonly called the " Witches' Finger," at 

 Richmond (where the possible site of a small dolmen was also 

 pointed out) the Trepied at the Catioroc, and the Creux des 

 Fees were visited, winding up with the Menhir in a field bor- 

 dering the Paysans Road at St. Peter-in-the-Wood. The 

 whole party was intensely interested in all they saw, and 

 several of the Jersey visitors expressed their conviction that 

 some of our Dolmens, more especially Dehus and the Creux 

 des Fees, would repay a further exploration, and Colonel de
