means of a white sheet which had been provided by Mr. S. Carey 

 Curtis. Col. de Guerin gave a most interesting account 

 of the history of the chapel from the time of its building to 

 the Reformation, after which it is believed Divine Service 

 was no longer celebrated there. The party then proceeded 

 to a field near I'Eree and inspected two stones which bear the 

 impression of the right foot of one man and the left foot 

 of another. Tradition has it that one of these impressions 

 was that of the foot of St. Brioc and the other of the Abbott 

 of Lihou, each of whom stood with one foot on each stone 

 while discussing ecclesiastical matters. A halt was made at 

 Fort Grey, where a geological examination was made in the 

 neighbourhood. Here a midden containing fragments of 

 pottery and trivets was found. The journey was continued to 

 Pezerie Point and another geological examination was made. 

 The result of this Mr. Collenette reported in the paper which 

 he read at the October meeting. 



On August 16th, the last excursion for the year took 

 place. The objective was Lihou Island. The outing was 

 very largely attended. Arrived at the Island Mr. Carey 

 Curtis read a most interesting history of the ancient Priory, 

 now in ruins, besides giving a description of the Priory. To 

 illustrate his subject Mr. Curtis had prepared a small model of 

 the Priory as it appeared when complete. The paper read by 

 Mr. Curtis will also be found in the Transactions for 1912. 

 After leaving Lihou Island a visit was paid to Mr. H. 

 de Garis' house, Bon Air, near Les Adams. Here Mr. 

 de Garis showed the party the famous Lihou stone which was 

 discovered about 100 years ago. The stone is now imbedded 

 in the wall of a side room. On the stone is sculptured a 

 representation of the Priory as it appeared when intact. The 

 stone is very ancient and is probably contemporaneous with 

 the Priory as it stood, 300 or 400 years ago. It bears 

 the date MCXIV., but the lettering is rather modern.

OBITUARIES. 



We have to regretfully chronicle the loss of two valued 

 members, whose deaths leave a gap which cannot be easily 

 filled. The first is that of Mr. George T. Derrick, who had 

 been a member of the Society since its inception on October 

 10, 1882. He was its first Vice-President, the President
