PEESIDENT OP THE MEETING, 



Lt.-General A. H. Lane-Fox Pitt-Rivers, D.C.L., F.R.S., F.S.A. 



•S the Royal Archaeological Institute decided to hold its 

 | Annual Meeting in 1887 at Salisbury, the Wiltshire 



Archaeological Society at once made arrangements to take ad- 

 vantage of the visit of the parent Society to their county, and join 

 that body. The Institute had once before held its meeting at 

 Salisbury, but that was in its early days, as long back as 1849, at a 

 time when the prevalence of the cholera very much marred the 

 pleasure of the visitors to our county ; so that to the majority of 

 those who assisted at the meeting last year the visit of the great 

 National Archaeological Society to Wiltshire was a new experience. 



The Inaugural Meeting was held in the Council House, at noon, 

 on Tuesday, August 2nd, the Mayor of Salisbury (F. Griffin, Esq.) 

 in the chair, when a large number of ladies and gentlemen attended. 



1 The Editor of the Magazine desires to acknowledge the very great assistance 

 he has derived, in preparing the report of this Meeting, from the columns of the 

 Salisbury and Winchester Journal, and from the Journal of the Royal 

 Archaeological Institute.
