Although the Committee has expressed regret that more work has 

 not been accomphshed, it feels that its labours have not been in vain. 

 Considerable attention has been drawn, through the Press and by much 

 correspondence, to the importance of preserving remains, and it is 

 believed that some good results will follow. 



An arrangement has been made with the Editors of the Victoria 

 County Histories that the original plans used by them shall, so far 

 as possible, be deposited with the Society of Antiquaries ; also proofs 

 containing illustrations from the same. These will be of great value to 

 students of early defensive remains. It has also been arranged that 

 lists of many earthworks, whether included among the published plans 

 or not, shall be handed over to the Committee. 



A second Appendix to the Scheme has been issued by the 

 Committee, wherein is noted a further development of the classifica- 

 tion, likely to prove of service to workers. And, finally, jDrotests 

 and petitions have been formulated against the destruction of land- 

 marks of history. 



Should it be the pleasure of the Congress that this Committee be 

 continued, the Hon. Secretary begs that he may be informed of the 

 destruction or mutilation of earthworks of any kind, should such 

 unhappily occur; the purchase of remains by corporations, or other 

 public bodies, or the gift of such relics lu them ; the issue of papers 

 in Transactions, or as separate ])aniphlels or books, relating to earth- 

 works ; in fact anything of interest tending to make the Report an 

 annual record of more than passing value.
