The Editor of the Magazine asks Members in all parts of the county 

 to send him short, concise notes of anything of interest, in the 

 way of either Archaeology or Natural History, connected with 

 Wiltshire, for insertion in the Magazine. 



CHURCHYARD INSCRIPTIONS. 



The Rev. E. H. Goddard would be glad to hear from anyone who 

 is willing to take the trouble of copying the whole of the in- 

 scriptions on the tombstones in any churchyard, with a view to 

 helping in the gradual collection of the tombstone inscriptions 

 of the county. Up to the present, about thirty-five churches 

 and churchyards have been completed or promised. 



WILTSHIRE PHOTOGRAPHS. 



The attention of Photographers, amateur and professional, is called 

 to the Report on Photographic Surveys, drawn up by the 

 Congress of Archaeological Societies and issued with No. 84 

 of the Magazine. The Committee regard as very desirable 

 the acquisition of good photographs of objects of archaeological 

 and architectural interest in the county, in which special at- 

 tention is given to the accurate presentment of detail rather 

 than to the general effect of the picture. The Secretaries would 

 be glad to hear from anyone interested in photography who 

 would be willing to help on the work by undertaking to photo- 

 graph the objects of interest in their own immediate neighbour- 

 hoods. The photographs should, as a rule, be not less than 

 half-plate size, unmounted, and must be printed in permanent 

 process.
