PICTORIAL SURVEY OF ESSEX. 5 



Stratford, and at Beckton Road corner, Canning Town ; sports 

 and games ; holiday-making crowds in Epping Forest, and the 

 like will all be of immense interest to those who come after us. 



Photographs of some of our slums will show our descendants 

 under what conditions many of us were forced to live, and 

 photographs of some of our local governing bodies at work may 

 not be without their interest. 



If the Survey is to be a success, willing helpers will be needed 

 all over the County, working under the guidance and advice of a 

 central organisation, which might well be a small special 

 •Committee of the Essex Field Club, Before many years have 

 passed, a collection of photographic records will be built up 

 which may be of untold value to future students of history. 



Nor need we confine ourselves to photographic records only. 

 Records of things that have passed away already remain in the 

 shape of prints and drawings ; such might well find a permanent 

 home where they are easy of access in the Museum of the Club.

 my few observations under three heads, as 

 (I.) The wovk of to-day; 

 (II.) The ■work of tlie yeav \ and 

 (III.) The ivovk of the ftituve. 

 All I may have to say would fall under one of these. 



^he wovk of to-day summarizes what has been accomplished 

 yesterday and to-day, with a sort of prologue, setting forth what 

 was done in Epping Forest by the South London Field Club on 

 the first Saturday in October, when the specimens submitted to 

 me for identification numbered 47, including one species which 

 I never before have seen collected in the County of Essex, and
