 Officers, and transacting the necessary business of the 

 Society, was held in Devizes, in December, in lieu of the General 

 Meeting, which for reasons given below, was postponed till next

An opportunity was at the same time afforded for the public 

 acknowledgement of the valuable collection lately bequeathed to 

 the Society under the will of the late Mrs. Wetherell, and some 

 time was occupied in inspecting these beautiful specimens of fossils

 which was done as follows : —

 tion, new contributors to the pages of the Magazine, appearing in
