368 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE. 
necessitated by local circumstances, some uniform system should be 
adopted, and the method of envelopes and cards suggested in the previous 
year’s Report, which includes a record of family history, seems most 
desirable. 
To secure the full value of the records a central body should be 
established upon which should devolve the comparison and statistical 
treatment of the observations made. Its duties should include the 
determination of average values, standard deviations, and correlations in 
different conditions ; and when this has been done, the reporting the 
results of an examination of the material submitted to it to local 
education authorities and others interested. 
The Physiological Sub-Committee has not reported, but, in the. event 
of the Anthropometric Committee being reappointed, it is proposed that 
this Sub-Committee should prepare a code of instructions for testing vision, 
hearing, tactile sensibility, &c. &c., for the Report of next year. 
It is further considered desirable that the Committee should report 
upon the factors of the environment which it would be advantageous 
to observe and record. 
Much useful work still remains to be done. The Committee there- 
fore request that they should be’ reappointed, that the unexpended 
balance of the grant (13/. 9s. 1d.) should be carried over to next year, and 
that an additional grant of 10/. be voted for the furtherance of the work 
of the Committee. 
The Age of Stone Circles.—Report of the Committee, consisting of 
Mr. C. H. Reap (Chairman), Mr. H. Batrour (Secretary), Sir 
Joun Evans, Dr. J. G. Garson, Mr. A. J. Evans, Dr. R. Munro, 
Professor Boyp Dawkins, and Mr. A. L. LEwIs, appointed to 
conduct Explorations with the object of ascertaining the Age of Stone 
Circles. (Drawn up by the Secretary.) 
Tue Committee report that with a view to the execution of the work for 
which a small grant was made at the last meeting of the Association, they 
asked Mr. H. St. G. Gray to make detailed surveys and plans of the 
Fernacre and Stannon Stone Circles on Bodmin Moors, Cornwall. This 
work has been satisfactorily and skilfully done, and the surveys of the 
group of five circles in this neighbourhood are now complete, the other 
three circles, viz., the ‘Stripple Stones,’ the ‘Trippet Stones,’ and Leaze 
Circle having previously been made. The measurements at the Fernacre 
and Stannon circles occupied Mr. Gray from September 18 to September 25, 
1906, and from them two large-scale plans in 6-inch contours have since 
been prepared. Detailed notes, sketches, and photographs were also made, 
and a valuable record of these circles has thus been secured. The ‘Trippet 
Stones’ and Leaze Circle were revisited for the purpose of checking some 
measurements. It is satisfactory to be able to state that nearly all traces 
of the excavation work conducted in 1905 at the ‘Stripple Stones’ have 
now disappeared, the grass having grown again excellently over the dis- 
turbed places.
