Committee to promote and supervise County Photographic Surveys. The 
suggestion arose in the course of a discussion on a paper read at the Con- 
ference by Mr. W. Jerome Harrison. ‘The Committee has been led to the 
conclusion that the proposal, as originally made, was too wide in scope and 
too vague in its objects.to admit of action being profitably taken by the 
Association ; but it believes that, while the scheme in its entirety seems 
impracticable, a Committee might advantageously deal with some specific 
branch of the suggested work. It has been thought that Archeology, in 
so far as it comes within the scope of the British Association, would be a 
subject that might appropriately be thus dealt with ; and it has con- 
sequently been arranged that the matter shall be brought for discussion 
before the Conference at Leicester by the Rev. R. Ashington Bullen, who 
will introduce it by a paper ‘On the Advisability of Appointing a Com- 
mittee for the Photographic Survey of Ancient Remains in the British 
Tslands.’ 
It has been suggested by the British Mycological Society, which has 
recently been brought into relation with the British Association, that the 
investigation of Fungi shouid receive more attention from local Societies. 
This suggestion having been favourably received, the Committee has 
decided that the subject be submitted to the Delegates at Leicester, 
when a paper intended to encourage the study of the group of fungi will 
be read by Mr. Carleton Rea, of Worcester. 
Mr. H. J. Mackinder, who will preside at the Conference at Leicester, 
has promised to deliver an introductory address to the Delegates on ‘ The 
Advancement of Geographical Science by Local Scientific Societies.’ 
The Cardiff Naturalists’ Society reports that, as a consequence of 
Dr. H. R. Mill’s suggestions in the paper which he read before the Delegates 
last year, the Society has presented to the Cardiff City Council three 
meteorological instruments to complete the equipment of the local station. 
Your Committee regards this as a very satisfactory result of the last 
Conference. 
More than thirty volumes of the Proceedings of the local Corresponding 
Societies have recently been bound and added to the collection which is 
preserved for consultation in the office of the British Association. 
Your Committee asks for reappointment with a grant of 25/,
