476 REPORT— 1893. 



the Association, but, so far as local arrangements permit, it is proposed 

 to continue the exhibition of a selection of the views, including the 

 photographs presented since the previous meeting. 



^ The system of mounting, in order to preserve the photographs from 

 injury (alluded to in the last report), has proved to be satisfactory ; and 

 the mounting and arrangement of the entire collection are now being pro- 

 ceeded with. The mounts adopted are of standard size, 151x12 inches, 

 provided with perforated edges to facilitate proper arrangement. These 

 will be supplied to donoi's of photographs who are willing to mount their 

 own views. 



Reference has been made in former reports to a proposed publication 

 consisting of reproductions of selected typical geological photographs. 

 Having fully considered the proposal, the Committee have come to the 

 conclusion, having strict regard to the objects for which they were ap- 

 pointed, that this matter lies beyond their province ; they will be glad, 

 however, to afibi-d assistance to any publisher or other person who wishes 

 to undertake the suggested publication, so desirable from an educational 

 point of view. 



It is with much regret that the Committee have to record the decease 

 of another of their members. In Mr. J. W. Davis, F.G.S., of Halifax, 

 they had an esteemed colleague and an active member. The fine series of 

 photographic illustrations issued by the Yorkshire Geological and Poly- 

 technic Society was presented through Mr. Davis, whose influence was 

 always exerted towards the furtherance of the work of the Committee. 



Owing to the illness of the Secretary the completion of the task of 

 arranging the mounted photographs in portfolios has had to be deferred. 



The Committee request reappointment and renewal of the grant 

 (vvhich was not drawn this year) in order that further progress may be 

 made with the collection, with a view to its being rendered as complete 

 and as widely representative as possible. 



Several photographs were received during the year without any par- 

 ticulars of locality or even of photographer. These could not be included 

 in the following list. It will greatly aid the work of the Committee if 

 photographs presented are accompanied by as many details as may be 

 possible. When not mounted on the standard mounts, prints should be 

 forwarded ,/?a/; (not rolled). Copies of foi-ms for the insertion of descrip- 

 tive details, and of the circular of instructions (the purpose of which is 

 to secure uniformity of action), will be supplied on application to any 

 member of the Committee. 



FOURTH LIST OF GEOLOGICAL PHOTOGRAPHS. 



(to JULY 1893.) 



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
