652 EEPOBT— 1893. 



7. The task of collecting words whicli seem to be peculiarly dialectal 

 (a to form or meaning, or both) has been performed so thoroughly that 

 it is useless to record what has been often already recorded. See, for 

 example, Halliwell's (or Wright's) ' Provincial Glossary * and the publi- 

 cations of the English Dialect Society. In many cases, however, the 

 jprominciation of such words has not been noted, and may be carefully set 

 down with great advantage. 



The Rev. Professor Skeat has been kind enough to draw up the fore- 

 going directions, and the collections under this head will be submitted 

 to him. 



4. Monuments and other Remains of Ancient Culture. 



Plot on a map, describe, furnish photographs on sketches, and state 

 t"he measurements and names (if any) of these, according to the following 

 classification : — 



Drift implements. Caves and their contents. 



Stone circles. Monoliths. Lake dwellings. 



Camps. Enclosui'es. Collections of hut circles. 



Cromlechs. Cairns. Sepulchral chambers. 



Barrows, describing the form, and distinguishing those which have 

 not been opened. 



Inscribed stones. 



Figured stones. Stone crosses. 



Castra (walled). Earthen camps. 



Foundations of Roman buildings. 



Cemeteries (what modes of sepulture). 



Burials, inhumation or cremation. 



Detailed contents of graves. 



Types of fibulte and other ornaments. 



Coins. Implements and weapons, stone, bronze, or iron. 



Other antiquities. 



A list of place-names within the area. No modern names required. 



Special note should be made of British, Roman, and Saxon interments 

 occurring in the same field, and other signs of successive occupation. 



Reference should be made to the article ' Archseology ' in ' Notes and 

 Queries on Anthropology,' p. 176. 



These relate to England only. The sub-committees for other parts of 

 the United Kingdom will prepare modified lists. 



The collections under this head will be digested by Mr. Milman and 

 Mr. Payne.
