Anthropological Photographs.—Report of the Committee, consisting of 
Mr. C. H. Reap (Chairman), Mr. H. 8. Kinasrorp (Secretary), 
Dr. T. AsHey, Dr. G. A. AupEeN, Mr. H. Batrour, Mr. E. N. 
FatuaizE, Dr. A. C. Happon, Mr. E. Smney Hartuanp, Mr. E. 
Heawoop, Mr. J. L. Myres, and Professor FLINDERS PETRIE, 
appointed for the Collection, Preservation, and Systematic Registra- 
tion of Photographs of Anthropological Interest. (Drawn up by the 
Secretary.) 
THE Committee issue with this report the second list of photographs 
registered with them. 
An important matter has come to the front during the past year— 
namely, the position which already existing collections of photographs 
should bear to the register of the Committee. For example, most of the 
missionary societies have large and valuable collections of anthropological 
photographs which they are willing should be registered, but of which 
copies cannot be obtained for the Committee’s collection. As it would 
be unfortunate if these collections were not made available for students, 
the Committee feel that some modification of the conditions under which 
photographs are accepted for registration is needed, and that the primary 
object of their work should be the registration rather than the collection 
of photographs. The Committee therefore propose that where duplicate 
copies cannot be obtained, except at considerable expense, a collection 
should be registered and, where possible, a detailed catalogue published, 
giving a reference to the place where the collection may be seen. The 
Committee do not propose to give up collecting photographs, but in 
special cases they will be willing to register photographs without making 
the presentation of copies a condition of doing so. 
The system of numbering and arrangement was published in the last 
report of the Committee. The following is a list of the numbers already
