ON PHOTOGRAPHS OF GEOLOGICAL INTEREST. 201 



published in the form of mounted and unmounted prints and lantern- 

 slides. The negatives were contributed by thirteen photographers, and 

 the descriptions by twenty geologists. To all who have thus contributed 

 to the success of the issue the Committee give their best thanks. 



The process of selection for the third issue is well advanced, and it is 

 hoped that j)ublication will take place early next year. 



The Committee are prepared to publish a second series if there is a 

 demand for it. The number of names at present sent in is only about 

 sixty, and at least twice that number would be required to put the issue 

 on a possible financial basis. The first two issues of the first series show 

 a small profit. The Committee intend to apply one-half to the purposes 

 of the collection, and thus avoid calling upon the Association for any 

 grant for a few years, while they are returning the other half to the 

 subscribers in the form of additional photographs. The subscribers have 

 already received an ' interim dividend ' (rather a larger one than the 

 present profits warrant) in the form of four whole-plate photographs and 

 additional slides. 



With regard to finances, it seems a good opportunity to state that there 

 has been granted to the Committee since 1889 the sum of 130/., of which 

 they have spent 101/. 10s. This sum has been used in acquiring, mounting, 

 and storing 3,771 photographs. In other words, the Association has obtained 

 this valuable, and unique collection at the cost of rather less than 6\d. 

 per print. In addition to this, it possesses a duplicate collection of over 

 •150 prints and slides, and, if the publication scheme continues to turn out 

 well, the money invested by the Association will yield a further similar 

 return for the next four or five years. 



Applications by Local Societies for the loan of the duplicate collection 

 should be made to the Secretary. Either prints or slides, or both, can be 

 lent, with a descriptive account of the slides. The carriage and the 

 making good of any damage to slides or prints are expenses borne by the 

 borrowing society. 



The Committee recommend that they be reappointed, without a grant 

 and with the addition of Mr. W. Jerome Harrison and Mr. W. Whitaker. 



FOURTEENTH LIST OF GEOLOGICAL PHOTOGRAPHS. 



(To August 17, 1903.) 



This list contains tlie geological photographs which have been 

 received by the Secretary of the Committee since the publication of the 

 last report. Photographers are asked to afiix the registered numbers, 

 as given below, to their negatives for convenience of future reference. 

 Their own numbers are added in order to enable them to do so. 



Copies of photographs, desired can, in most instances, be obtained 

 from the photographer direct, or from the officers of the local society 

 under whose auspices the views were taken. 



The price at which copies may be obtained depends on the size of the 

 print and on local circumstances over which the Committee have no control. 



The Committee do not assume the copyright of any 2}hotoyraphs 

 included in this list. Inquiries respecting photographs, and applications 

 for permission to reproduce them, should be addressed to the photographers 

 direct.
