Archaeology. —The work in this department has necessarily 
suffered from the loss of its Honorary Curator, the Rev. W. 
Haworth, F.S.A. A fuller reference is made elsewhere in this 
Report to that active and useful officer of the Society, it is 
sufficient here to say that his loss will be. especially felt in 
the department of Antiquities. As far as the acquisition of 
Antiquities is concerned, the year has been an uneventful one. 
A considerable number of specimens has, it is true, been 
obtained ; but nothing of an unusual character or calling for 
special notice. Our collection of Tokens, which has long 
needed attention, has been taken in hand by Mr. Chas. Wake¬ 
field, who has not only cleaned and arranged the specimens, 
but has filled up many gaps from tokens in his own collection. 
A considerable amount of work necessary for safeguarding the 
ruins of the nave of S. Mary’s Abbey Church has been done, 
under the able and careful supervision of Mr. Geo. Benson— 
to whom the Society is greatly indebted for the care and 
attention he has bestowed upon the matter. Our members 
will learn with pleasure that Mr. Chas. Wakefield has been 
appointed one of the Honorary Curators of this Department. 
Botany. —The Curator reports that the collections are in 
good order, and that the additions to the Herbarium consist 
of the following flowering plants : — 
Trijolium ochroleucum, L., and other plants from Norfolk, 
collected and contributed bv F. H. Weekes.
