 made in the Wansdyke by our President for the year, General

 been excellently arranged for the purpose, the whole of the end of 

 the room being hung with maps, plans, sections, and drawings 

 illustrative of the papers to be read ; of these a certain number 

 were drawings or photographs of objects of interest connected with 

 Mr. Penruddocke's paper on Mrs. Jane Lane, others were excellent 

 large-size drawings specially prepared by Mr. Bell for the elucidation
