3'SO REPORT— 1900. 



being about 3 inches from the white marl bed, but distinctly in the silt, 

 was another fragment of antler : this was in the north-west side of the 

 trench, and about a yard from its south-west end. 



The marl was struck at a depth of 10 feet to 10 feet 3 inches ; and at a 

 point from 9 to 12 inches within it, that is to say, about 11 feet below 

 the present surface, there was still another antler fragment, some 3 yards 

 further south-east than the last, in the south-west end of the trench. 

 Immediately below this the marl was bluish black, exactly as it was 

 round the head of the skeleton found near St. John's (Close-y-Garcy). 

 This darkened marl was from 9 to 10 inches thick, and extended over an 

 area from the south-west end of tlie trench of about 3 feet square. All 

 through it were crumbs of decayed bones, doubtless ' Irish Elk.'

 Beport of the Committee, consisting of Professor James GeIkie 

 {Chairman), Professor T. G. BonneV, Dr. Tempest Anderson, 

 Mr. Godfrey Bingley, Mr. H. CoaTEs, Mr. C. V. Crook, Mr. 

 E. J. Garwood, Mr. J. G. Goodchild, Mr. William Gray, Mr. 

 Robert Kidston, Mi\ A. S. Reid, Mr. J. J. H. Teall, 

 Mr. R. Welch, Mi*. H. B. Woodward, Mr. F. Woolnough, 

 and Professor W. W. Watts {Secretary). {Drawn up by the 

 Secretary.) 



The Committee have the honour to report that during the year 309 new 

 photographs have been received, bringing the total number in the collec- 

 tion to 2,655. 



In addition to this 12 prints and 10 slides have been given to the 

 duplicate collection, making a total of 331 photographs received during 

 the year. 



Five misplaced prints have been renewed by the kindness of Miss 

 Andrews, Mr. Brown, Mr. Coomara-Swamy, and Mr. Bingley. 



The usual scheme showing the geographical distribution of photographs 

 is appended. There are no new counties in the list except Anglesey and 

 Meath, but the following counties are now much better represented than 

 hitherto : — Buckingham, Essex, Gloucester, Somerset, Pembroke, Inver- 

 ness, and Clare. The scheme of the main collection has been most 

 carefully checked with the prints, catalogues, and printed lists, all doubtful 

 numbers have been weeded out, and it may be taken to represent 

 accurately the actual state of the collection. Eor this reason it is not 

 quite consistent with previous schemes, when these precautions have not 

 been possible. Three photographs have been assigned to old numbers, 

 namely, 191, 399, and 400, and the missing photographs hitherto assigned 

 to these numbers cancelled. 



Mr. A. S. Reid has continued his photographic survey of the Island of 

 Eigg and contributed a set of photographs taken there. 



Mr. Greenly sends a valuable set of photographs taken under the 

 auspices of a Committee of the Association in order to preserve a reliable 

 and unbiassed record of the disappearing sections of elevated drifts on 

 Moel Tryfaen, in Carnarvonshire. 



Mr. Coomara-Swamy contributes a considerable series taken on the 

 mainland of Inverness and in Skye,
