TRANSACTIONS OF THE SOCIETY. 



Monthly Meeting held March 22nd, 1916, Miss A. L. Mellish, 

 President, in the chair. 



The Secretary read correspondence which had passed 

 between him and Advocate E. T. Nicolle, the Secretary of 

 the Societe Jersiaise, relative to the proposed visit of this 

 Society to Jersey. A discussion thereon took place, the 

 majority favouring August as the most suitable time, but the 

 arranging of the details was left in the hands of the Council. 



Col. T. W. M. de Guerin read a paper styled " Introduc- 

 tion to Mr. F. C. Lukis's Archaeological paper in the Lukis 

 Museum," which will be published as an appendix to the 

 Society's Transactions. 



Monthly Meeting held April 26th, 1916, Mr. A. Collenette in 



the chair. 



Owing to the absence of both the President and Secre- 

 tary, Mr. Collenette was voted to the chair, and Mr. B. T. 

 Rowswell to perform the Secretary's duties. 



Col. T. W. M. de Guerin described two Neolithic kists 

 discovered near Rousse Tower in the early part of April. 

 They are situate below high water mark and are peculiar in 

 that they run north and south instead of east and west, the 

 usual direction. 



Mr. A. Collenette spoke on the geological features of the 

 site and pointed out that the present position of these kists 

 below high water mark was clear proof of the sinking of the 

 land since their construction. A full account of this discovery 

 will be found in another part of these Transactions. Mr. A. 

 Collenette gave an abstract of a paper entitled " The puzzle 

 presented by the Moulin Huet and Icart Caves,"' which will 

 be also found in these Transactions. A discussion followed 

 in which Mr. A. A. Gould took a prominent part. 



The visit of members of the Society to Jersey took place 

 from the 30th July to August 7th, and being favoured by the 

 finest of weather proved very enjoyable. A full account by 

 the Secretary will be found further on.
