The President said that since their last meeting the Society had lost 
one of its oldest Fellows, Mr. Henry Perigal, who had died at the 
advanced age of 98, and certainly had attended their meetings when he 
was at least 93 or 94. He did not know Mr. Perigal personally very 
well, but whilst looking up some interesting details as to some old Micro- 
scopes in the Society of Arts Journal he came across an interesting paper 
on the way in which the great monoliths at Stonehenge could have been 
moved and erected without the use of other than savage appliances ; and 
on looking for the name of the author, he found it was Henry Perigal.
