Marine Zoological Committee, which had had one dredging excursion this 
ear. 
; Geological Photography.—Mr. Knubley next referred to the subject of 
geological photography, which had been brought forward in 1888. It 
was then felt that the proposal was too vague to bring in any definite 
form before the different Societies, but the matter had become more 
definite in the course of the year, and he thought that the time had 
arrived for proposing that a Committee should be formed to arrange the 
collection of photographic views illustrating the geological features of 
each county of the United Kingdom. 
A discussion ensued as to the mode of procedure to be adopted in 
order to give practical effect to the conclusions already arrived at by those 
members cf the Corresponding Societies who had been working at the 
subject during the year. 
Mr. O. W. Jeffs, having been called upon by the Chairman, stated 
that the matter had been brought before the Delegates at Bath in 1888, 
and had been discussed on that occasion. The proposal had then been 
left in an informal condition, and he undertook to communicate with the 
Delegates of the different geological societies of the kingdom. He had 
done this in an unofficial and private circular, and now had a list of 
what each had obtained, as wellasa large collection of photographs, some of 
which were very interesting. He added that he had received letters from 
a large number of Delegates highly approving of the scheme, and offering 
suggestions. These letters would be placed at the disposal of Section C 
or of anyone taking the matter up. 
No formal recommendation with respect to the subject was passed at 
the Conference, as the matter was to be brought before the Committee of 
Section C the following day. 
Barth Tremors.—Professor Lebour said he had very little to say on 
this subject except that the work in his district had been suspended as 
the result of the recommendation of the Earth Tremor Committee of the 
British Association, which considered that the spot selected for the 
instruments was too near the sea, and rocks containing great cavities, and 
therefore unsuitable for the experiments. A good deal of time had been 
taken up last year in having a new set of instruments made and placed 
in another position. They were now ready for work, but no observations 
had been taken owing to the change of position. 
The Geological Record—Mr. Topley called attention to a circular 
which had been distributed among the Delegates, in which it was pointed 
out that the publication of this Record of geological literature coulda 
not be continued unless the number of subscribers was increased, and he 
urged upon those present to assist the cause of science by giving their 
own and getting others to give their support. Mr. Whitaker also spake 
on behalf of the Record. 
No subjects coming within the province of Sections D, E, F, or G 
were brought forward.

Catalogues of Ancient Remains.—Mr. William Gray said that a Com- 
mittee of the British Association had been appointed for this purpose, 
and the Society which he represented had made a commencement m
