Ix PROCEEDINGS, 



glad to receive any suggestions regarding them from members of 

 the Conference. 



A discussion followed tlie reading of the paper, and Mr. Blakiston, 

 in reply to questions, said that there was another society for the 

 protection of ancient buildings, but it had no power to hold 

 buildings as the National Trust had, and it could only intervene 

 when an ancient building was in danger of being injured. The 

 Trust was in close touch with that society, and also with the 

 Commons Preservation, the Selborne, and other societies. The 

 authorities of the Trust were about to make a proposal for federation 

 to the natural history and archaeological societies of the country. 



Geological Photographs. — Professor W. W. Watts said that 

 the Committee for the Collection, Preservation, and Systematic 

 Registration of Photographs of Greological Interest, of which he 

 was Chairman, would be glad to receive any contributions of such 

 photographs. The Committee hoped to be able to undertake the 

 publication of typical geological photographs with letterpress 

 descriptions in such a way as to render them easily obtainable by 

 those who could make good use of them. It would greatly help 

 the Committee if local societies would agree to purchase a series of 

 these photographs. There was also a duplicate collection of prints 

 and lantern-slides which could be sent to any local society wishing 

 to exhibit them, the only expense incurred being that of carriage. 



Di^trihidion of Mosses. — Mr. Harold Wager informed the 

 Delegates that Section K (Botany) had appointed a Committee to 

 consider the geographical distribution of mosses, a matter of interest 

 to all the local societies.
