Photograplis of Geological Interest. — 'Nineteenth Report of the 

 Committee, consisting of Professors E. J. Garwood (Chair- 

 man) and S. H. Ebynolds (Secretary), Mr. G. Bingley, Dr. 

 T. G. BoNNEY, Messrs. C. V. Crook and W. Gray, Dr. E. 

 KiDSTON, Mr. A. S. Eeid, Sir J. J. H. Tball,^ Professor 

 W. W. Watts, Mr. E. Welch, and Mr. W. Whitaker. 

 (Drawn up by the Secretary.) 



Since the issue of the previous Report (Newcastle 1916) 205 photographs 

 have been added to the collection, which now numbers 5,861. 



Although the Committee has lost no member since the issue of its 

 last Report, it has sufiered an incalculable loss in the resignation of the 

 Secretaryship by Professor Watts, who had held it since 1896. No one 

 who has knowledge of the facts can doubt that the whole success of 

 the Geological Photographs Committee has bei n due to his energy and 

 business-like qualities. Fortunately Professor Watts is always ready to 

 help and advise his successor. 



For the first time for many years the Committee is not in receipt of any 

 photographs from its most generous contributor, Mr. Godfrey Bingley. 

 Mr. Bingley's name figures in the first list of contributors (Leeds 1890) 

 and in two only of the subsequent Reports does he not appear. The 

 number of photographs presented by him is as many as 1,123. The 

 Committee wish to condole with Mr. Bingley most sincerely as regards the 

 eye trouble which has interfered with his work, and trust that it may 

 pass away. 



Dorset is the county most fully reijresented in the present Report, 

 sets having been contributed by the Secretary and by Mr. C. J. Watson. 

 Mr. Watson, whose first photographs were received as early as 1892, sends 

 a varied series, including examples from Cornwall, Derbyshire, Durham, 

 the Isle of Wight, Monmouth, Nottingham, Stafford, Warwick, Worcester, 

 Anglesey, Edinburgli, Antrim, and Kerry. The Secretary further 

 contributes views from Cornwall, Cumberland, Gloucestershire, Lancashire, 

 and Somerset. 



Another early contributor, Mr, Henry Preston, sends photographs 

 from Dartmoor and Nottingham, and a considerable series from Lincoln. 

 Mr. J. W. Tutcher's work is illustrated by a set from Somersetshire 

 illustrating a paper by Mr. L. Richardson, and contributed by him. 



The Committee are very glad to welcome a new contributor in Dr. B. 

 Pope Bartlett, who sends some photographs illustrative of the Cretaceous 

 succession in the Mere and Shaftesbury districts, which are a model of 

 what detailed stratigraphical photographs should be. Some characteristic 

 views of the Burren, co. Clare, have been received fromCapt. J. A. Douglas, 

 having been taken by him and by Mi-. B. R. Lloyd.
