The Rules have not been reprinted in this volume; the only change made in them is by the omission of the words "one year" in Rule 10. THE PLATE FUND. The Executive desire to call the attention of the Members of the D.F.C. to the existence of a "Plate Fund" for defraying the very heavy expense of the Illustrations in the volumes of Proceedings. In some cases the writer generously presents the engravings; but, in order to maintain the high standard of excellence attained by recent volumes, without again incurring so deep an obligation to an individual Member, a special contribution would be extremely valuable.

Hudleston, Esq. : The plates and blocks from which the prints have been produced which illustrate his paper on Creechbarrow. NOTICE BY HON. TREASURER. VOLS. OF PROCEEDINGS.
