At Pantavon, the residence of the Rev. P. Bayly Williams, rector of Llanrug, who hospitably entertained the party, was seen the Decius Stone, figured and described by Professor Westwood (Arch. Camb., 1855-6), and read by Mr. Wynn Williams as IMP(ERATORI). Q.(VINTO). TR(AIAN)O. DECIO. I(VLIVS). GAL(L) IE (NVS). It was removed hither, some sixty years ago, from Dinas Dinorwig; whence also two of the querns were brought which now lie in the garden, and one of which is curious as having seven grooves radiating from the centre. The evening meeting, owing to some mismanagement relative to the proper place, was held in the Club Room of the Royal Welsh Yacht Club, Professor Babington in the chair. This being the last meeting, the usual votes of thanks were passed:-that to Mr. Freeman, the late President, being proposed by Professor Babington and seconded by Mr. Barnwell; that to the Local Committee, also proposed by Professor Babington, who expressed the obligation of the Association to the Chairman, Sir Ll. Turner, for the use of the rooms in the Castle, and his exhaustive lecture upon it; seconded by Mr. Kyrke Penson, who, however, could not agree with all that had been advanced in that lecture; and that to the Secretary, Mr. Davids, Junior, moved by the Chairman and seconded by Mr. Howell Lloyd. The Chairman then called upon Mr. Robinson to read a paper by the Rev. Dr. Hooppell "On the Importance of ascertaining the Signification, in the Keltic Languages, of the Latinised Names of the Roman Stations and Towns situated in Great Britain." This paper, which is printed elsewhere, contains many derivations open to criticism; but time did not admit of any further discussion, and the Meeting was brought to a close with a cordial vote of thanks to the Chairman, who in briefly acknowledging the same announced Lampeter as the next year's place of meeting.
