THE SECOND WINTER MEETING. XXXV. 



be taken up again and carried on with renewed activity. He 

 therefore proposed : 



That steps be taken to promote the work of the Photographic Survey of the 

 County, originated and most efficiently carried on for many years by the Rev. W. 

 Miles Barnes and the late Eev. T. Perkins, and that for this purpose a Director 

 be appointed and a committee selected, the members of which should be repre- 

 sentative of different parts of the county. 



The PRESIDENT seconded the motion, and it was carried unani- 

 mously ; but the selection of a Director was deferred till the next 

 meeting of the Club. 



POLLUTION OF RIVERS. The HON. SECRETARY announced 

 that he had received a letter from Sir Alexander Pedlar, Hon. 

 Secretary of the British Science Guild, asking the Club to pass a 

 resolution in favour of certain proposals for legislation in the 

 matter of the prevention of pollution of rivers. He proposed 

 that the Club cordially support the action of the Guild. The 

 Rev. S. E. V. FILLEUL, in seconding the proposition, said he 

 thought that no legislative intervention was necessary in Dorset, 

 where he believed that the rivers were very pure. The proposi- 

 tion was carried nem. con. 



THE MANSEL-PLEYDELL AND CECIL MEDALS. Lord EUSTACE 

 CECIL said that when he had the honour to be President of the 

 Club he always thought the one great object was to enlarge its 

 scope as much as possible, and he did his best to start one or 

 two new branches, so as to make the organisation as complete as 

 possible. He received the support of all the old Members and 

 of the Club generally. He was disappointed that last year there 

 was no competition at all for the Mansel-Pleydell Medal and 

 Prize, and he hoped that that would never be the case again. 

 The Cecil Medal and Prize was not confined to the Club, but 

 open to the county generally, and he hoped that for both medals 

 and prizes there would this year be considerable competition, 

 and that the papers sent in would be creditable alike to the Club 

 and to the competitors.
