1 PROCEEDINGS, 



(6) The appointment of a Committee was suggested : 

 (a) To collect details as to the work done oi' being done. 

 (h) To prepare and circulate printed matter on the work of 

 the survey so as to make its aims and methods known. 



(c) To co-ordinate the photographic with the literary and 

 scientific Societies so that all may unite in the work. 



(d) To obtain lists of experts who would be willing to advise 

 upon special subjects ; to di'aw up county lists of objects and 

 places with their points of interest ; to write descriptions of 

 the prints ; and to compile lists of county literature. 



(e) The publication of series of prints, either of districts or 

 subjects, would popularize the survey. 



The Appendix gives in 28 sections details of working. 

 Prints should iweferahly be permanent ; they may be of any 

 size, half -plate or whole-plate being preferred ; if mounted 

 they should be on standard mounts, 14 ins. by 11 ins. to take 

 one whole-plate, two half-plates, or four quarter-plates, the 

 mounts being cut-out so as to protect the prints from abrasion. 

 Examples were given of areas to be surveyed and of special 

 lines of enquiry ; methods of working the survey were 

 suggested ; and a description was given of a set of apparatus 

 used for survey-work for several years (presumably by the 

 author of the paper). 



A long discussion followed, in the course of which it was 

 elicited that there were several county surveys in progress 

 besides those mentioned by Mr. Harrison, but that there Avas 

 a want of uniformity which could best be overcome by the 

 appointment of an Advisory Committee, and the Chairman 

 proposed that an application should be made at next year's 

 meeting of the British Association to secure the appointment 

 of a Committee for County Photographic Surveys, which was 

 approved, members of such a Committee being nominated. 



Reports from the Sectional Committees were then taken. 



Section A {Mathematics and Physics). — Observations of solar 

 radiation and of the brightness of the sky at night were 

 suggested as new work for local Societies. 



Section E {Geography). — Attention was called to the work of 

 the Committee appointed for investigating the quantity and 

 composition of rainfall and of lake and river discharge. 



Section H {Anthropology).— Go-operation was asked for in 

 the work of a Committee formed by this Section in conjunction 

 with the Anthropological Institute to collect and register 

 anthropological photographs ; and also with a Committee 

 appointed to report upon the best means of registering the 

 megalithic monuments of Great Britain. Photographs of rude 

 stone monuments and hut-circles were, it was stated, much 

 needed. The Delegates, being asked to appoint a member of 

 this Committee, nominated the Secretary of the Conference, 

 Mr. Rudler, to serve on it.
