 FOLK-LORE SOCIETY.

SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COUNCIL,

January 17x11, 1894.

DURING the past year the work of collecting the folk-lore of the different counties, the inauguration of which was one of the principal events of the year 1892, has been steadily pushed forward, and Lady Camilla Gurdon's collection of the folk-lore of Suffolk from printed sources has been published by the Societ}', and issued to members as Part II of the series of County Folk-Lore. The Leicestershire and Rutland Collection has also been completed by Mr. Billson, and, it is hoped, will soon be in the printer's hands. It is probable that several of the other county collections will be ready to be printed in the course of the present year. Collectors have been found for Nottinghamshire, Argyllshire, Buteshire, and Moray- shire, since the issue of last year's Report, and the follow- ing table shows precisely what has been and is being done in this direction :
