THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT. Ixxiii. 



REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC 

 SURVEY OF DORSET. 



Good progress has been made with the Photographic Survey of the 

 County in the past twelve months. The collection has been re-arranged 

 in accordance with the scheme submitted to the Field Club at the 

 Annual Meeting last May. It proves to be very workable, and has the 

 merit of being capable of indefinite expansion. 263 prints have been 

 received from the following contributors : Miss Samson, 1 ; Captain 

 Acland, 4 ; Mr. C. H. Mate, 6 ; Mr. Fulleylove, 10 ; Mr. G. Kenrick, 10 ; 

 Mr. Filleul, 17 ; Mr. J. Ridley, 40 ; Mr. Miles Barnes, 74 (photographs 

 he had by him from various sources) ; the Director, 101. 



It is hoped the Members of the Club will use their best endeavours to 

 increase the collection, either by sending prints themselves, or by 

 enlisting the services of their friends who photograph. 



The Director and the Committee wish to express their thanks to all 

 those who have assisted the Survey in the numerous ways in which it 

 is possible to do so.

 Field Club, which was represented by Messrs. Nigel Bond, M.A., and 

 E. A. Fry. Mr. P. M. Johnston introduced a motion expressing the 

 cordial approval of the Congress of an arrangement now in operation 

 in the Diocese of Chichester, by which the Bishop has consented to 

 submit to an advisory committee appointed by the Sussex Archaeological 

 Society, before issuing a faculty, any proposals that may hereafter 

 arise for enlarging, restoring, altering, re -building, or re -fitting any 

 ancient church or chapel-of-ease within the Diocese ; an arrangement 

 by which the Bishop also invites warning and advice in the case of 

 proposed alterations of importance and a resolution that the Bishops 

 of the other English and Welsh Dioceses be formally invited by the 

 Congress to accept the services of similar consultative committees, if
