610 REPORT—1896. 
dolichocephalic. The reader is referred to the original paper for fuller 
details. 
In 1895 Dr. Browne investigated the natives of Ballycloy, in the 
southern portion of the barony of Erris, in co. Mayo. This is an isolated 
district, being cut off by a semicircle of mountains from the rest of the 
county. The people, who are much intermarried, are largely descended 
from Ulster settlers. A statement, originally made by an anonymous 
writer, has somehow gained currency, and has been repeatedly quoted 
abroad, noticeably by M. de Quatrefages and by M. Devay, that the 
descendants of the Ulster people, driven two centuries ago into Sligo and 
Mayo, had dwindled into dwarfs of 5 feet 2 inches high, prognathous, 
and pot-bellied. Dr. Browne found that the average height of these 
people is 1-721 m. (5 feet 7? inches), and they exhibited no sign of physical 
degeneracy ; they are very healthy, fond of music and dancing, given to 
joking, and sharp in business, Though there is a coast-line of forty- 
seven miles, nearly all the men are farmers. The houses are of a some- 
what better order than those commonly found in the West of Ireland. 
Fifty men were measured, and the hair and eye colours of 298 individuals 
noted. The mean cephalic index is 80°5 (78:5), facial index 112°6, and 
nasal index 63:9. Full details, as in the last Report, will shortly be 
published in the ‘ Proceedings’ of -the Royal Irish Academy. 
APPENDIX VII. 
Report of the Ethnographical Survey of Pembrokeshire. 
Ly Epwarp Laws, Esq., /S.A. 
At the annual meeting of the Cambrian Archeological Association, 
held at Launceston in August 1895, Mr. Henry Owen, F.S.A., and myself 
were requested to institute an archeological survey of the county of 
Pembroke. 
Mr. Owen undertook to compile a bibliography —no slight task, for 
though Pembroke is comparatively a small county it has perhaps been 
more freely ink-bespattered than any shire in Wales. Mr. Owen has now 
ready for press an annotated catalogue of printed books referring to the 
county. This list he will present to the committee appointed by the 
Cambrian Archeological Association at their meeting on the 7th Septem- 
ber in Aberystwith. When the catalogue of printed books has been issued 
it is proposed to prepare and print a list of MSS. relating to the county 
of Pembroke. This is a work that cries aloud for the worker. The list of 
MSS. relating to the Welsh counties preserved in the British Museum was 
compiled just one hundred years ago, and other great libraries are equally 
behind the times. 
I myself undertook to raise a company of Pembrokeshire men, and 
with their assistance archeologically annotate the 6-inch ordnance survey 
of the county of Pembroke. I have now ready for press thirty quarter 
sheets, and hope before the end of the month of August to receive twenty 
more. 
The system we have adopted is as follows: I send out one or more 
quarter sheets to a volunteer worker, requesting that he will mark thereon 
with a pinhole the position of the following objects :— 
Camps or spaces enclosed by earthworks. 
Camps or spaces enclosed by stone wall.
