5l0 REPORT — 1895. 



every 400 copies, or IQs. if printed on the Society's own paper. [See 

 circular in Appendix.] 



4. This offer has been accepted by several societies. One of the societies 

 which have availed themselves of the arrangement is the Bristol and 

 Gloucestershire Archfeological Society, and Mr. Hartland has prepared 

 for insertion in its Transactions some notes explanatory of the Schedule, 

 a copy of which is appended to this report. The Committee propose to 

 arrange with the Society for a supply of copies of these notes, which may 

 be useful to societies and observers in other parts of the country. 



5. During the year the work of observation has been proceeding in 

 several directions, and the sub-committees in various parts of the United 

 Kingdom have commenced operations. The Committee do not propose 

 at the present stage to present any report of the results of these observa- 

 tions, but only to report progress and to request their reappointment for 

 the purpose of continuing the work with which they have been entrusted. 



6. They desire to make an exceiation, however, in the case of Ipswich, 

 which possesses local interest as being the place of meeting of the Asso- 

 ciation for the present year. Miss Layard has acted as secretary of a 

 sub-committee in Ipswich, and Dr. Hetherington has furnished twenty 

 measurements of individuals, a report upon which has been prepared by Dr. 

 Garson, 'and will be presented in a futui-e report. Dr. Groom e, Mr. 

 Partridge, and Mrs. Ledger have also contributed, thi'ough Miss Layard, 

 collections of the local Folklore, and these will also be contained in a 

 future report. By the courteous invitation of Mi-s. Cobbold, the Chair- 

 man and Secretary of the Committee attended a meeting at her house 

 for the purpose of explaining the views of the Committee, at which much 

 interest was expressed in the work of the Committee, and some valuable 

 information was obtained. 



7. Some interesting investigations have also been made by the Com- 

 mittee at Barley, in the county of Hertford. Their attention was drawn 

 by the Rector, the Rev. J. Frome Wilkinson, to the strong historical 

 evidence as to continuity of race furnished by entries in the parish 

 registers and other local records going back to an unusually early time, 

 to the existence of remains of ancient culture hitherto almost unnoticed 

 in the county histories, and to the survival to a late period of early forms 

 of land cultivation in this parish. By his courtesy, Professor Haddon, 

 who was accompanied by the Chairman of the Committee, was able to 

 take measurements and photographs of inhabitants of the parish belong- 

 ing to different ranks of society, whose pedigrees could be traced through 

 the registers for a considerable period. 



8. A Cambridge University sub-committee foi the Ethnographical 

 Survey of East Anglia has been formed to discover and record the 

 principal types of the inhabitants of East Anglia on the hues laid down 

 by this Committee, under the auspices of the Royal Society. This sub- 

 committee consists of Professor Macalister, F.R.S., Mr. W. L. H. Duck- 

 worth, and Professor Haddon, under whose supervision the work will be 

 conducted by a number of trained men. The work of forming sub- 

 committees in Wales has also been proceeded with. In the Cotteswolds, 

 Mr. S. S. Buckman has furnished the committee with notes introductory 

 to observations that are in progress. 



9. The Committee have been anxious to procure observations (especi- 

 ally physical observations) from places where the non-existence of any 

 local society or other reasons may interpose difficulties in the way of the
