THE Committee have the honour to report that during the last year 196 
photographs have been received, bringing the total number in the collection 
up to1,412. <A detailed list is annexed : it shows that the Committee are 
largely indebted to Mr. Godfrey Bingley and to Mr. W. Whitaker. The 
latter has sent a considerable number of photographs, many of them old 
ones, which it would have been difficult to obtain otherwise ; the former, 
in addition to a set to be specially mentioned later on, has contributed a 
beautiful series of views taken along the Yorkshire coast, which we trust 
is a first contribution to the survey of the entire coast suggested by Mr. 
Woodall some time ago. Mr. Bingley also sends photographs of the re- 
markable perched blocks about Norber, near Clapham. To these donors 
and to Miss Andrews, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Atchison, Mr. Flowers, Mr. 
Piquet, Mr. Preston, Mr. W. Sinclair, Mr. Small, Mr. Stilgoe, Mr. A. O. 
Walker, and Mr. H. B. Woodward, to the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union, 
and to the Leeds Geological Association, the thanks of the Committee are 
especially due. 
A summary of geographical areas represented in this year’s collection 
and in those of former years follows. From this it will be seen that, while 
some counties have been surveyed by the camera in considerable detail, 
in others little or nothing has been done. It will be well, therefore, to 
direct special effort towards having the geological phenomena of these 
counties photographically registered. 
No special attempt has been made this year to obtain prints in order 
to see how many would be likely to flow in without sending circulars out ; 
the result is apparent on an analysis of the list. But for the photographs 
of three contributors the number would be exceptionally small. This 
shows that constant effort is required to complete the collection, and it 
must not be relaxed if it is desired that the work should be brought to a 
satisfactory conclusion. Circulars must be regularly sent to the Field 
Clubs and Natural History Societies, and to other regular and likely con- 
tributors, a constant if small expense being undertaken by the Com- 
mittee. 
Not many of the photographs received this year have yet been 
mounted, and there are still some of the older ones which require mount- 
ing or remounting before it is possible to display the whole collection at 
its new home in Jermyn Street, to which the whole collection has now 
been sent ; the bulk of it can, however, be inspected on application at the 
Library at the Museum of Practical Geology at 28 Jermyn Street, S.W. 
The method adopted by the Committee, after much consideration, has
