MEETINGS. 



Mr. Tanner informed the meeting that he hoped to 

 organize excursions to the Gouilot Caves (Sark) in August 

 and September next, and he would be glad to hear of any 

 members of the Society who would like to join the party. 

 More definite announcements of the excursions would be made 

 later. 



Mr. H. E. Marquand (Editor of the Star) said he would 

 like to see the Society organize an excursion to the caves 

 between Moulin Huet and Petit-Port. He had himself 

 visited them on one occasion with friends. The caves were 

 so very unique in formation he felt sure the Society would 

 derive much pleasure from a visit. The easiest way to get to 

 them was by boat from Moulin Huet, the cliff descent at this 

 particular spot being rather dangerous. 



Monthly Meeting held Wednesday, November 16th, 1910, at 8, 

 William Carey, Esq., President, in the chair. 



The attendance of members at this, the first meeting for 

 the season, numbered 18. Weather very rainy. 



The two following gentlemen were elected members : — 



Mr. E. A. Luff, of Brock-road, proposed by 

 Mr. D. B. Cromartie, seconded by Mr. B. T. Rowswell. 



Mr. J. E. Blicq, of Bordage-street, proposed 

 by Mr. G. F. Alles, seconded by Mr. B. T. Rowswell. 



Colonel de Guerin presented Dechelette's " Manuel d'Ar- 

 cheologie Prehistorique Celtique et Gallo-Romaine,' 1 Part 2, 

 to the Society's Library, and exhibited a large and interesting 

 collection of locally-found flint instruments. Some of these 

 had been picked up at Grande Rocque, Le Crocq, Creve 

 Coeur (L'Ancresse), and many were from the Colonel's estate 

 at Le Mont Durant. At the latter place from 150 to 200 

 in all had been found and the Colonel was of opinion that the 

 spot marked the site of an old settlement. 



Two valuable papers were afterwards read by Colonel 

 de Guerin, the first of which, " Our Statue-Menhirs and those 

 of France and Italy," was illustrated by 23 specially prepared 

 lantern pictures which included slides of the old stone figures 

 at St. Martin's and the Castel churches. This dissertation 

 was very much enjoyed as was also the Colonel's second paper, 

 " Our Hereditary Governors." 



Brief discussions, in which Mr. Collenette, Mr. De La 

 Mare and Mr. Cromartie took part, followed the reading of 

 each paper, and Colonel de Guerin was warmly thanked for 

 his very instructive contributions.
