ON PHOTOGRAPHS OF GEOLOGICAL INTEREST. 305 



damage. The Secretary will be glad to receive early application from 

 Societies wishing to avail themselves of the offer of this loan, that arrange- 

 ments may be made in good time. 



The plaotographs in this selected series are naturally of the kind which 

 would be most useful to those who wish to obtain typical examples for 

 teaching purposes or for exhibition in illustration of papers ; and there- 

 fore, whenever it has been possible to arrange it, an address is given 

 whence prints or slides mny be purchased. But it must be distinctly 

 understood that the Committee can undertake no responsibility or corre- 

 spondence in this matter. AH information possible will be circulated 

 with the collection, and there the Committee's work must end ; would-be 

 purchasers must make their own arrangements with photographers, in 

 whom exclusively the copyright remains vested. 



The Committee, in forming this collection, are much indebted to the 

 donors whose names are mentioned at the end of List 4, and particularly 

 to Mr. Bingley (who has given 39 prints and 23 slides) Mr. Welch (25 and 

 7), Mr. Goodchild (17), Mr. Nichols, Mr. Watson, Mr. DeEeux, Mr. 

 Armstrong, Miss M. K. Andrews, and Captain McDakin. 



The Secretary will be grateful if the donors of photographs will 

 kindly look through the parts of the lists in which they are interested 

 and notify to him any slips in the spelling of proper names, in the 

 geographical or geological descriptions, or mistakes of any other kind 

 which occur in the Report. 



The Committee recognise that their work is yet far from completion, 

 and they therefore ask for their reappointment with a small grant to 

 defray some of the expenses connected with the mounting, storing, and 

 collection of photographs. 



EIGHTH LIST OF GEOLOGICAL PHOTOGRAPHS 

 (to June 1897). 



Note. — This list contains the subjects of geological photographs 

 copies of which have been received by the Secretary of the Committee 

 since the publication of the last Report. Photographers are asked to 

 affix the registered numbers, as given below, to their negatives for con- 

 venience of future reference. Their own numbers, where given, are 

 added, in the same order, to enable them to do so. 



Copies of photographs desired can, in most instances, be obtained 

 from the L^h jtographer direct, or from the officers of the Local Society 

 under whoso auspices the views were taken. 



The price at which copies may be obtained depends on the size of the 

 print and on local circumstances, over which the Committee have no 

 control. 



The Committee find it necessary to reiterate the fact that they do not 

 assume the copyright of any photogra])hs included in this list. Inquiries 

 respecting photographs, and applications for permission to reproduce 

 them, should not be addressed to the Committee, but to the photographers 

 direct. 



The very best photographs lose half their utility, and all their value 

 as documentary evidence, unless accurately described ; and the Secretary 

 would be grateful if, wherever possible, such explanatory details as can
