Ixii. THE HON. DIRECTOR'S REPORT. 



That permanent prints should be paid for, if desired, at the 

 rate of 2s. 6d. per dozen for half -plate platino types. That 

 permits should be given to amateur photographers, who may be 

 willing to work for the survey, as in another county the adop- 

 tion of this plan has been found of great service in obtaining 

 facilities for workers. And lastly, it decided that the present 

 collection should be left untouched in the existing volumes, 

 where so large a number of interesting photographs many of 

 which are now unobtainable was got together with great 

 labour and care by Mr. Barnes, who, it must always be 

 remembered, was the originator of the Photographic Survey 

 of Dorset. It is hoped that, with the assistance of the 

 members of the Field Club, and of others interested in the 

 county, or in photography, there may be assembled here, 

 before very long, such a collection as will take a high place, 

 both as regards merit and numbers, among the surveys of the 

 English counties.
