Exhibits at Meetings of the Society.

A glazed table case for containing objects of folklore interest has been purchased, and will be on view at every meeting of the Society. A programme of exhibits for each meeting will be arranged and circulated as part of the programme for the session, the exhibits having relation, as far as possible, to the subjects of the papers.

Members are invited to send objects of folklore interest for exhibition, preferably in accordance with the programme, although interesting articles may be sent for exhibition at any meeting. Intending exhibitors should communicate with Mr. A. A. Gomme, 12 Dryden Chambers, 119 Oxford Street, London, W., who will supply them with appropriate labels, and arrange for the safe return of their exhibits, particulars of which will appear in Folk-

Lore.
