Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings and Papers of the Kilkenny and South-East of Ireland Archaeological Society, for the Year 1862, Vol. 4: Part I As it is usual to count the gains and losses of Members at the end of the year, your Committee have much pleasure in announcing that the list exhibits a sound vitality. During the past year no special efforts have been made to recruit the ranks of the Society. It is, therefore, matter of congratulation that thirty seven names have been proposed for election; in the 'same time the deduction for deaths, resignations, and lapses, has amounted to 29. The total number of names now on the list amounts to 616, showing an increase of eight during the past twelve months.
