ON THE PEEHISTOEIC INHABITANTS OF GKEAT BRITAIN. 289 



Second Report of the Committee, consisting of Sir John Lubbock, 

 Dr. John Evans, Professor Boyd Dawicins, Dr. Egbert Munro, 

 Mr. Pengelly, Dr. Henry Hicks, Professor Meldola, Dr. 

 MuiRHEAD, and Mr. James W. Davis, appointed for the pur- 

 pose of ascertaining and recording the localities in the British 

 Islands in which evidences of the existence of Prehistoric 

 Inhabitants of the country are found. {Drawn up by James 

 W. Davis.) 



In the report presented last year it was proposed that distinctive signs 

 should be adopted to indicate the character of prehistoric objects on 

 maps. This subject has had careful attention and it is recommended : — 



I. That the one-inch ordnance survey map may be used. 



II. That the signs and colours adopted by the Commission appointed 

 by the International Congress of Anthropologists and Archaeologists at 

 Stockholm in 1874 be employed. The Commission consisted of repre- 

 sentatives of eleven European countries ; the one for Great Britain was 

 Dr. John Evans. The subject received long and serious discussion, and 

 the results have been generally accepted ; they ai'e tabulated at con- 

 siderable length in the ' Comptes Rendns du Congres,' vol. ii. p. 937 et 

 seq. 1876. For the purposes of this committee the signs given below will 

 probably suffice ; should more specialised signs be required the recorder 

 may be referred to the ' Comptes Rendns.'

6. Kjokkenmodding ...... -^-^ 



The different ages of the objects may be indicated by colour if 

 the objects are extended over considerable areas ; or, by signs if the 

 objects are single, or too limited in area to be represented by colour.
