Walls as Secretary and Organiser, continued with the old project of a survey of the cairn cemetery on the frontiers of Coed Clwyd, near the path to Moel Fammau. Mr. R. E.

An important innovation this year is that an inaugural meeting will be held in the spring for the discussion and organisation of excavations. This may be combined with a visit to sites. Invitations will only be sent out to people who send a postcard to M. Bevan-Evans, Springfield, The Highway, HAWARDEN saying that they are interested in digging this summer, and which evenings in the week are convenient for them to attend the inaugural meeting.
