322 REPORT OF MEETING. MONDAY, JULY 31. The General Committee met at 8.30 p.m. in the Grammar-School, which had been kindly placed at the disposal of the Association by the Rev. J. Irby Parr, to receive and discuss the Report of the past year. At nine o'clock the outgoing President, Professor Babington, took the chair of the General Meeting, and, after thanking the members for their kindness to him during his jTear of office, called upon Mr. H.

Peter and Paul in Shrewsbury. Afterwards they would go and see, at the invitation of Mr. Yorke of Dyffryn Aled, a curious rocky table, mentioned by Leland, and commonly known as Arthur's Table. On their way back, he would be especially pleased to take them to see a lofty mound on .his own property, a little below Llangernyw, about which he was naturally anxious to obtain some information; he had hoped to have had it opened in
