EARTHWORKS COMMITTEE. The Rev. C. W. H. DICKER 

 (Corresponding Secretary of the Earthworks Sectional 

 Committee) reported that notices were about to be sent 

 out to landowners, clergy, and other suitable persons 

 in the county stating that, at the suggestion of the First Com-

 principal camps, enclosures, barrows, and megalithic remains 

 belonging to prehistoric times, which are now to be found in 

 the county. It is hoped that eventually the owners of the land 

 may be led to avail themselves of the provisions of the new 

 Ancient Monuments Act, by placing the safe-keeping of these 

 remains in the hands of the State. In the first instance the 

 Committee proposed to make a rough census of all the known

 asked for the kind co-operation of the persons addressed.

 but suspended last year.
