Elliott, lilsq. but nq importn.nt discov· er.",' wa ltEP03:tT, 1888. xliii On the 28th of December 1887, the earliest copies of the 17th Volume of .A.rc!,,rEologia Oantiana ,vere p-resented to tb.~ CouJ?,oil at their Meeting .. '!'he oiroulation of COJ?ies among an the members 1mmed1n.tely followed. Oontammg 4114 pages of pnnted matter, and 55 Illustrations, this volume has been considered t,o be not unworthy of its predecessors. 985 copies of it were printed and bound, at a cost of £527, and nearly the who~e of that cost was defrayed during the year 1887. . . . . Three sheets of ma,tter for the 18th Volume are already m t.Y]?e, but it 1s not proposed to issue that Volume until next summer. · • • . The Sooiety began the year 1887 with £697 : 15 : 1 at its Bankers. The inoome of that year was £880 : 7 : 6. . . • _ During 1887 we expended £509 upo1:1- our 17th. .Volume ; we invested _£80 in Consols; we spent £26 upon excavations at R1ohborough: our Mmdstone RoolilB and their Ourat.or cost us £60 per annum ; and all the other working expenses of the year amounted to £44. So that on the 81st of December 1887 the Society had ;£869 at its :Bankers. • - At that time the Society's invested Capital derived from Life Compositions was £985; but since the 1st of January 1888 an additional sum of £25 has been invested, so that at the time of this Annual Meeting the Society possesses £1010 invested in Consols. Under the old system of the 3 per cents. the income from this sum would be £30 : 6 : 0 per annum ; but the entire reduction sanctioned by Parliament will ea.use our Capital to produce only £26 : 5 : o. The Council has determined, therefore, t.o ask this meeting to sanction the increase of the amount of Composition fol' Life Membership to £6. That sum. invested in Consols will eventmtlly, at 2! per cent., yield to the Society 8s. per annum; which is the exact sum hitherto derived by the Society_ from £5 invested at 8 per ceut. . The Council desires also to_ obtain the opinion of this Annual Meeting with respect to a General Index to the_ Volumes of A't'ch~olo9~ Oantiana. Probably none will deny that such an Index is neceasii.ry. The difficulty arises when we consider how many copies oHt shall be printed. _ The number of pages 1i9 be indexed will be about 7000. Experts tell us that our Index ought therefore to occupy between 400 and 500 pages of matter printed in double. columns. The similar Index of the Sussex Society occupies 428 pages. • . • . . _ . . • If only 50 or 100 copies were 1mnted the cost of ea.oh would be as much as 3 or 4 years' subscription to the Society. - • On 1:,he other hand, if the Index were printed for every Member, like a,n ordinary Volume of the Society's Transactions, each member would obtain· a oopy of it without any extra, subscription. · • . . . 01;1~ Printers estimate the total cost of compiling, :Printing, and binding such a.n ed1t1on of the Index: at about £880. • For tli~ir Slst_Annual Meeting the members of our Society have assembled in the ano1ent Cmque. Port of Hythe, where they .were cordially received 26 years ago, on_ the 10th of July 1862. The members of the Council rejoice to say that after the lapse of so many years, the Society has again the a.-dvantage of being welcomed and assisted by the sanie efficient colleague, Mr. Maokeson • • whose exertions made the fol'mer Meeting at Hythe-so successful. • . . ' • They know t~at he has . done m.ucl!- for . the preservation of . the various ~cords that el:1c1g~te the History of this nnc1ent town,. ;tnd they congratufate him upon finding 1n the worthy Town Clerk, Mr. Wilks, a, colleague who is continuing Mr. Mackeson's work of elucidating the -local History and of promoting our Society's welfare. We thank them both for their effective efforts to make this Meeting a. succes~. _ On the motion of the Very Reverend the Dean of -Canterbury,: seconded by the Rev. Canon the Ronorable W. R. Fremantle it was xesolved: "That tlte Reporf as i'eaiJ be aJoPje, Esq., of Hampton House, Chatham, and carried unanimously," That Herbert Hwaern, Esq., and, Oaptavn Okas; F.
