ON THE SMALL SCREW GAUGE. 409 



if they succeed in producing them of satisfactory accuracy will submit 

 them to the Committee. 



Mr. O. P. Clements, the author of a paper on screw threads used in 

 bicycles, read before the Section at Bradford, has been elected to the 

 Committee. 



Mr. W. Taylor, who has taken a leading part in the standardisation of 

 the screws of photographic lenses, and has been in communication with 

 the Committee, has also been elected a member. 



Dr. R. T. Glazebrook has been elected a member of the Committee. 



Correspondence has passed between the Committee and Dr. R. T. Glaze- 

 brook, the Director of the National Physical Laboratory, respecting the 

 examination of screw gauges, and the following arrangements have been 

 made :— 



The National Physical Laboratory will undertake to examine and to 

 report upon gauges of the British Association submitted to them. 



The Committee have applied the grant of 45^. made to them at Bradford 

 to the purchase of apparatus for the examination of gauges by the National 

 Physical Laboratory, and have appointed Mr. C. Y. Boys, Lieut.-Colonel 

 Crompton, Dr. R. T. Glazebrook, Mr. W. A. Price, and Colonel Watkin 

 to be a sub-Committee for the expenditure of the grant. The Committee 

 are of opinion that the previous grant of 45/., made in 1900, will be 

 insufficient to purchase the necessary apparatus, and recommend their 

 reappointment, with a grant of 45/. 



EtJmological SurveAj of Canada. — Report of the Committee^ consistimj 

 of Professor D. P. Penhallow (Chairman), the late Br. George 

 M. Dawson (Secretary), Mr. E. W. Brabrook, Professor A. C. 

 Haddon. Mr. E. S. Hartland, Sir J. G. Bourinot, Mr. B. 

 Sulte, Mr. 0. Hill-Tout, Mr. David Boyle, Mr. C. N. Bell, 

 Professor E. B. Tylor, Professor J. Mayor, Mr. C. F. Hunter, 

 and Dr. W. F. Ganong. 



In recording the work of the past year we are called upon to notice the 

 very sudden decease of Dr. G. M. Dawson, which occurred at Ottawa on 

 Mai-ch 2, I'JOl, as the result of bronchitis. Dr. Dawson had been 

 identified with the work of this Committee from the time of its organisa- 

 tion, and he served at first as its Chairman, and later as its Secretary, 

 which position he held at the time of his death. His well known ethno- 

 logical studies in connection with the Indians of the Pacific coast and the 

 keen practical interest which he constantly manifested in the prosecution 

 of such work gave special weight to his connection with this Committee 

 the object of which commanded his warmest sympathy and his deepest 

 interest ; and we are keenly sensible of the great loss we have sustained 

 in the removal of one whose broad interest in the progress of scientific 

 research, and whose intelligent appreciation of the many difficult problems 

 connected with the prosecution of ethnological work in a country where 

 the conditions are changing so rapidly, gave him exceptional qualifications 

 for the guidance of our work and imparted to those especially engaged in 

 collecting data a never-failing stimulus and enthusiasm. 



Renewed negotiations with certain of the provincial Governments 

 have been opened during the year with a view to having the work of this 

 Committee placed upon a more permanent basis, and it is hoped that 

 favoui-able results may appear before our next annual report is made.
