The meeting of the Congress of Archaeological Societies was held as usual in July, and was attended by Dr. Gaster and Mr. Longworth Dames as delegates from the Society.
The Society was represented at the meeting of the British Association at Winnipeg by Mr. E. S. Hartland and Professor J. L. Myres.
The Council regret to announce that four-fifths of the Society's stock of bound and unbound volumes were damaged by water during a fire which took place early in October at the warehouse in Little Guildford Street, Southwark, in the basement of which it was stored. The stock was insured in the Westminster Fire Office for £1500, and Mr. C. J. Tabor kindly undertook on behalf of the Society the negotiations for the settlement of its claim against the Office. The claim was finally settled for £1100 and the whole of the salvage. The sincere thanks of the Council are due to Mr. Tabor for his exertions, and the Society is to be congratulated on the successful result arrived at.
The Council submit herewith the annual Accounts and Balance Sheet duly audited.
Charlotte S. Burne,
President, 1909.
