applied throughout, fairly concordant results are obtained for observation^ 

 by different observers made during different years from different ships. 



Observations have been made of the tidal bore in the River Severn, of 

 which a successful cinematograph picture was obtained at Stonebench 

 near Gloucester, which has been described in the ' Geographical Journal ' 

 for January 1902 (' Cinematographing the Severn Bore '). Observations of 

 the bore have been made at other places on- this river, and it is proposed 

 to continue these, and to make similar observations on the River Trent. 



The pictorial record of terrestrial surface waves and wave-like surfaces 

 has been extended by new photographs of the Severn bore at different 

 stages, breakers in a storm, wave track of ship-models at the Admiralty 

 Experiment Works, Haslar ; the wave track of a torpedo-boat destroyer, 

 &c., and observations and photographs have been made of the move- 

 ments of mud streams, which will be reported upon later. 



The grant has been Expended, and the Committee ask for reappoint- 

 ment, with a grant of 251.
