1. As in the two previous years, the Committee have had the advantage of 

 the co-operation of several gentlemen not members of the Association, but 

 delegates of various learned bodies who are interested in the Survey. 

 They have to deplore the loss, by death, of one of these gentlemen, Mr> 

 Granville Leveson-Gower, one of the delegates of the Society of Anti - 

 quaries. His place has been filled by the election by the same Society of 

 its Director, Mr. F. G. Hilton Price, as a delegate to tliis Committee. 

 His colleague, Mr. George Payne, and Mr. E. Clodd, Mr. G. L. Gomme^ 

 and Mr. J. Jacobs, the representatives of the Folk Lore Society, Sir C.. 

 M. Kennedy, K.C.M.G., representing the Royal Statistical Society^ 

 Mr. Edward Laws, the Ven. Achdeacon Thomas, Mr. S. W. Williams* 

 and Professor John Rhys, representing the Cambrian Archffiological 

 Association, and Dr. C. R. Browne, a representative of the Royal Irish 

 Academy, have continued their valuable services. Some other members 

 of the Committee are delegated by the Anthropological Institute. 



^2. In their first and second reports, the Committee presented a list of 

 367 villages or places which, in the opinion of competent persons con- 

 sulted by the Committee, appeared especially to deserve ethnographic- 

 study, and they appended to the list observations furnished by their cor- 

 respondents on the special characteristics of such villages and places, 

 which rendered them typical. This considerable number does not exhaust 

 the supply of names of places, several observations having been made in 

 places not mentioned in the list. 



3. The Committee have issued, in the shape of an octavo pamphlet of 

 twelve pages only, the forms of schedule which they liad prepared. They 

 believe that it presents, in the most compendious manner possible, a body 

 of instructions for observers under the five heads into which the Com- 

 mittee's inquiries have been divided, viz. : — 



(1) Physical types of the inhabitants ; 



(2) Current traditions and beliefs ; 



(3) Peculiarities of dialect ; 



(4) Monuments and other remains of ancient culture ; and 



(5) Historical evidence as to continuity of race. 



Arrangements have been made with the printers for supplying this 

 pamphlet to Societies which may be desirous of circulating it amono- their 

 members or incorporating it with their Transactions, at a cost of 21s. for
