A proposal was brought forward for Mr. C.erish, the Hon. Secretary 

 of the East Herts. Society, that the Congress should print a third list 

 of printed Parish Registers brought up to date. 



Mr. Fry pointed out that this work was being done by the Parish 

 Register Society, who were publishing additions to Dr. Marshall's 

 list. He bore hearty testimony to the good work done by the two 

 first lists published by the Congress, but thought that the matter 

 might now be well left to the Parish Register Soctety. This view was 

 supported by Dr. Phillimore. 



The Hon. Secretary stated that he was often asked when another 

 list would be published, and pointed out that such lists were supplied 

 free in the first place and afterwards at the price of si.xpence, and 

 were therefore preferred to those of the Parish Register Society, 

 which had a smaller circulation. As responsible for the first two 

 Reports, he pointed out that he could not have prepared them without 

 the help of Dr. Marshall, who had furnished the main part of the 

 matter. He could still less do so now without the help of Mr. Fry 

 or some such authority. It might be well to refer the subject to the 

 Committee last appointed, to see if any arrangement could be made 

 with the Parish Register Society that might be mutually satisfactory. 

 After some discussion, this was agreed to. 



The thanks of the Congress were accoidcd to Lord Avebury for 

 presiding, and to liic .Society of Antii|uaries for liie use of tlicir 

 rooms.
