"That in order to systematise the work it is desirable that members 

 shall confine their work, as far as possible, to the Hundred selected 

 for the ensuing year. 



" That each square of the Ordnance Map (containing, roughly, six 

 square miles) shall be considered a distinct field for work, and that any 

 member may have allotted to him such square as he may select, unless 

 such square has been previously allotted." 



Another and perhaps better way, which has been adopted by the 

 Guildford Society, is to divide the 6-inch Ordnance Map into distinct 

 blocks, with natural boundaries, and to furnish the members to whom 

 a block is allotted with a corresponding plan cut from the 1-inch 

 Ordnance Map, and mounted on card. 



To facilitate access to objects to be illustrated, cards of introduction 

 should be provided, and issued to those who undertake work. It is 

 suggested that the cards be made to run for one year only, and be not 

 re-issued except to those who are doing satisfactory work. 



It is desirable that a Committee should prepare a schedule of the 

 principal objects of which it is desired to obtain records, but such a list 

 should not be regarded as in any way exhaustive, and may be supple- 

 mented by individual observation. 



The photographing of portraits, already begun by the Warwickshire 

 Society, is also of great value where it can be effected. 



Besides objects of archaeological interest, photographs should be 

 welcomed that give types of natives and groups of school children. 

 These will be of the highest value to ethnological students. The 

 ethnological photographs should, if possible, be taken in accordance 

 with the directions laid down by Mr. Francis Galton. These may be 

 obtained from the British Association, at Burlington House. 



Photographs of objects of natural history, and of landscapes or 

 geological features, should be encouraged and accepted, as they may 

 be ultimately gathered into a separate collection. 



Many of the County Societies are for the study of natural history 

 as well as of archaeology, and where this is not the case proper 

 custodians can eventually be found for the v^arious collections. 



It is desirable, to avoid risk of loss by fire, that at least three 

 sets of Prints should be preserved by way of record : one by the County 

 Society ; a second by the British Museum ; and a third, of archaeological 

 plates, by the Society of Antiquaries. The third prints from those 

 plates which illustrate science might be deposited with the societies 

 representing the various subjects, such as the Anthropological Institute 

 or the Geological and Linnaean Societies.
