The Hon. Officers of the Society were re-appointed, with the 

 addition of Mr. Edward Cook as one of the Hon. Curators of the 

 Museum, and The Chairman called on Mr. H. E. Medlicott to read

 Gazette, July 11th, 18th, 25th, and August 1st ; and a shorter account in the 

 Wiltshire Times, July 13th, 1901.
