his essays on the coins of Heraclea in Bithynia, and on those

attributed to Maronea in Thrace. 3
Dr. Edwin Guest, Master of Caius College, Cambridge,
though one of our oldest members and a distinguished scholar,
never devoted himself specially to numismatic pursuits. His
papers on archaeological subjects were, however, numerous and
important, as is well known to those interested in ancient earth-
works, and in the successive conquests of foreign invaders in
Britain. They are to be found for the most part in the pages of
the " Archaeological Journal." Dr. Guest was born in the year
1800, and became master of his old college in 1852, a position
which he resigned in October last year, and died in the follow-
ing month at Sandford, near Oxford. He had been called to
the bar, but never practised, as his fellowship of Caius College
enabled him to follow more congenial studies.
Mr. Wingrove had also been for many years a member of our
Society, but never communicated any essay to our journal.
I regret that these notices are so imperfect in their details,
but the meeting will probably excuse me if I no longer detain
them.
