548 REPORT—1890. 
deteriorate is most important, and it is hoped the difficulties hitherto 
met with on this score may be overcome. By the end of the present 
year the Committee expects the work will be in the hands of the public. 
Fourth Report of the Committee, consisting of Sir Jon Luszocr, 
Dr. JouN Evans, Professor W. Boyp Dawkins, Dr. R. Munro, 
Mr. W. PENGELLY, Dr. Henry Hicks, Professor MELpoua, Dr. 
MurrHead, and Mr. James W. Davis, appointed for the pur- 
ose 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 Mr. JAMES 
W. Davis.) 
THE report now presented by your Committee is somewhat brief; it is 
expected, however, that those interested in the subject—who are pre- 
paring reports for the counties of Northumberland, the West Riding of 
Yorkshire, North Lancashire and Westmoreland, Essex, Hampshire and 
Dorsetshire, and the northern counties of Ireland—will be prepared to 
present them for publication at no distant date, and it is hoped that at 
the next meeting of the Association the report will not only be a more 
voluminous and important one, but that several additional lists will be in 
course of preparation in other parts of the country. It is desired to draw 
the attention of those who have undertaken to record the occurrence of ~ 
prehistoric objects, or who may do so, to the method suggested in the 
first report made in 1887, in which it is requested that information be 
given as to (1) the object, (2) the locality where found, (3) the date 
when found, (4) state if previously described and where, (5) special 
characteristics, and (6) where the object is now deposited. In the case 
of large objects, as caves, earthworks, lake-dwellings, tumuli, dolmens, 
&c., it has been decided to record them on the l-inch Ordnance Survey 
maps, and the signs and colours adopted are given in the second report 
of the Committee, published in the volume for year 1888. 
A list of prehistoric objects found in the parish of Rochdale, prepared 
by J. Reginald Ashworth, Honorary Secretary of the Rochdale Literary 
and Scientific Society, has been received by the Committee.
