thanks of the Meeting expressed to him for his services in the past 
two years. 
EARTHWORKS COMMITTEE. 
Mr. 1. Chalkley Gould presented the Report of the Committee 
appointed to prepare a Scheme for Recording Earthworks. 
Prof. Windle, F.R.S., F.S.A., in further explaining the Report, 
suggested that the Committee might well be strengthened and 
especially by the addition of military members. He deprecated any 
attempt to attribute age independently of excavation, and drew atten- 
tion to the number of moated enclosures in Warwickshire obviously of 
medizeval date, especially in the Forest of Arden ; these, he thought, 
it would be well to include. 
Mr. R. Garraway Rice, F.S.A., suggested that Lt.-Col. Attree, 
R.E., F.S.A., would be a useful Member of the Committee, as he had 
promised assistance in scheduling the camps of Sussex. He pointed 
out the dangers that sometimes arose to the walls of camps from the 
action of rabbits, and approved the inclusion of moated sites in the 
Schedules. 
The Rev. E. H. Goddard pointed out that camps in Wilts had 
been greatly damaged to provide exercise grounds for racehorses ; 
Mr. A. R. Goddard instanced Ravensbury Castle, in Bedfordshire, as 
having been much injured by the plantation of young larches ; Mr. 
C. J. Williams thought that the planting of trees sometimes tended to 
preserve the camps, and other members thought it doubtful if advantage 
or disadvantage predominated. 
Mr. Gould suggested that Lt.-Col. Ruck, R.E., who had been 
working on the Wall of Antoninus, should be invited to join the 
Committee. 
Sir John Evans alluded to the great loss Archeology had sustained 
by the loss of General Pitt-Rivers, and the fact that no other Inspector 
of Ancient Monuments had been appointed ; he stated that moated 
enclosures should certainly be recorded, as they were often of far 
earlier date than the houses that were found in them. He also 
suggested that the County Societies should be invited to send copies 
to the central Committee of any Schedules they may form, and this 
was agreed to. 
The Hon. Secretary recommended that copies of the Scheme 
should be supplied to Societies for issue to all their members, and on 
the motion of Mr. Willis-Bund, seconded by Mr. T. Blashill, and 
supported by Mr. Freer, this was agreed to. 
Mr. Gould, as representing the Earthworks Committee, was author- 
ised to invite Lt.-Cols. Attree and Ruck and such other Members as 
the Sub-Committee should think fit, to join it and form a Standing 
Committee to take charge of the subject.
