Mr. Micklethwaite pointed out the fragments of a very early 

 6un-dial, which he attributed to pre-Norman times. Lastly to 

 Heytesbury House, where the fine collection of pictures, notably 

 the Murillos brought from Spain by the late Lord Heytesbury, were 

 much admired. By the kind attention of the noble owner tea was 

 served to the visitors ; and then, after a due expression of thanks to 

 Lord Heytesbury, the party returned to Salisbury by rail. 



This evening the concluding Meeting was held in the Council 

 House, and was mainly occupied in recording special votes of 

 thanks to those who had been instrumental in preparing for and 

 assisting at this eminently successful gathering. First, to the 

 Mayor and Corporation, for their kind and hospitable welcome; 

 then to the Bishop of Salisbury, President of the Wiltshire Archaeo- 

 logical and Natural History Society ; then to the Dean and 

 Chapter, for the countenance and assistance they had rendered ; next 

 to General Lane-Fox Pitt-Rivers, who had so ably presided over 

 the Meeting ; and then to the readers of the several papers, and to 

 the hospitable entertainers of the Members ; and last, but by no 

 means least, to the indefatigable efforts on their behalf, of the Rev. 

 Sir Talbot Baker, Bart., Mr. W. M. Hammick, and Mr. H. W. 

 Crickmay, who had made such satisfactory arrangements.

 Rotherley Wood was duly inspected and admired. Then they drove
