Anthropological Photographs. — Report of the Committee consisting of 

 Mr. C. H. Read {Chairman), Mr. H. S. KmcsFORD (Secretary), 

 Dr. J. G. Garson, Mr. H. Ling Roth, Mr. H. Balfour, Dr. A. C. 

 Haddon, Mr. E. S. Hartland, Mr. E. Heawood, Professor 

 Flinders Petrie, Mr. E. N. Fallaize, and Mr. J. L. Myres, 

 appointed for the Collection, Preservation, and Systematic Registra- 

 tion of Photographs of Anthropological Interest. (Drawn up hy the 

 Secretary.) 



The Committee issue with this report a first list of photographs registered 

 with them. All these photographs are of great anthropological interest, and 

 it would be invidious to single out any series for particular mention. The 

 Committee wish to express the hope that now that a fair start has been 

 made with the register, all persons who have taken photographs of anthro- 

 pological interest will send copies of them to the Committee for regis- 

 tration, so that the collection may be as representative and useful as 

 possible. The Committee feel convinced that such a collection and 

 register of photographs cannot fail to be of great service to students of 

 anthropology. 



In cataloguing the photographs the Committee have adopted a geogra- 

 phical classification, under continents, with subdivisions into countries, 

 provinces, &c. The system of numbering the photographs is as follows : 

 Each person or institution who may be expected to contribute largely to 

 the collection is given a series of a thousand numbers, with which to 

 number his photographs consecutively, and on his first series becoming 

 exhausted another thousand is allocated to him. The first nine thousand 

 numbers have been allocated as follows : — 



1-2000. The Anthropological Institute, 3 Hanover Square, W. 



2001-3000. Mr. J. L. Myres, Christ Church, Oxford. 



3001-4000. Dr. D. Randall-Maclver, Wolverton House, Clifton, 

 and the late Mr. Anthony Wilkin. 



4001-5000. Mr. T. V. Hodgson, 54 Kingsley Road, Plymouth. 



5001-6000. Dr. O. S. Myers, Melrose, Grange Road, Cambridge. 



6001-7000. Mr. J. L. Myres, Christ Church, Oxford. 



7001-8000. Mr. Edgar Thurston, Government Museum, Madras. 



8001-9000. Will be used for small series or single photographs, 

 registered by persons who are not expected to con- 

 tribute largely to the collection. 



The conditions under which photographs are accepted by the Com- 

 mittee for registration are as follows : — 



i. That a copy of the photograph should be supplied by the owner of 

 the negative ; and 



ii. That the owner should allow the Committee to have prints made for 

 anyone recommended by them, at cost price, for purposes of study, but 

 not of publication. 



It is understood that the copyright of all photographs registered 

 remains the property of the owner.
