sending a delegate to the Conference, recognising the practice by wliicli one 

 delegate sometimes represents more than one Society, and to recommend 

 that in future no delegate be entitled to more than one copy, however many

 Report, it may be supplied at the reduced price of lO.s'. 



(A) To apply to the Committee of Recommendations for a grant of 40/. 

 for the preparation of the Report of the Conference and the ainiuai 

 Bibliography. 



(?) To recommend that the Kent's Cavern Committee be not reappointed. 

 In regard to the last resolution, the President explained that there is at 

 present no prospect of acquiring Kent's Cavern for the nation, and that certain 

 subscriptions already offered to the Committee will be returned to the donors. 

 Suggestions for more careful record of the results of any excavations which 

 may be made by the present owner of Kent's Cavern were submitted by Mr. 

 jMark L. Sykes (Manchester jNIicroscopical), Mrs. 'Forbes Julian (Torcjuay), 

 and Miss Nina Layard (East Anglia), and referred to the Corresponding 

 Societies Committee. 



Suggestions for co-ordinated work by the members of Corresponding 

 Societies were received from the Committees of Sections of the British 

 Association, as follows : — 



Section C (Geology) recommends, as a subject for systematic research by 

 the Corresponding Societies, the study of ' Peat Beds and Submerged 

 Forests.' 

 Section H (Anthropology) commends to the Conference the proposal for an 

 ' International Institute of Archreology in Rome,' in special regard to its 

 scheme for a bibliography of archaeological literature. 

 Section H (Anthropology) recommends that an urgent and useful work for 

 local societies would be to assist the Folklore Society in collecting and 

 organising the material still required to complete the information necessary 

 for the contemplated new edition of Brand and Ellis' ' Vulgar Antiqviities,' 

 which has been long out of date. 

 Section K (Botany) calls the attention of the Conference to its Committee 

 on a ' Primary Botanical Survey in Wales,' which desires local help in its 

 researches. 

 A vote of thanks to the President of the Conference was moved by Dr. F. A. 

 Bather, seconded by Dr. J. G. Garson, and carried unanimously. The Con- 

 ference then adjourned.
