ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF BRONZE AGE IMPLEMENTS: 359 
The Distribution of Bronze Age Implements.—Jnterim Report 
of the Committee (Professor J. L. Myres, Chairman; Mr. Haroip 
Praxe, Secretary; Dr. KE. C. R. Armsrrona, Dr. G. A. AUDEN, 
Mr. H. Batrour, Mr. L. H. D. Buxron, Mr. O. G. 8. Crawrorp, 
Sir W. Boyp Dawkins, Professor H. J. Firurs, Mr. G. A. Garrirt, 
Dr. R. R. Marrett, Mr. R. Monn, Sir C. H. Reap, Sir W. Ripceway). 
Tur Committee has had throughout the assistance of Dr. H. 8. Harrison, representing 
the Royal Anthropological Institute ; and Lord Abercromby, representing the Society 
of Antiquaries of Scotland. 
The Committee’s draughtsman. Mr. C. H. Howell, has been employed throughout 
the year, and has paid several visits to museums and private collections within the 
Home Counties. Mr. E. Billing completed a few cards that he had in hand, while Mr. 
CG. O. Waterhouse has drawn about 160 specimens in the British Museum. 
Among the many volunteers who have assisted us the first place must be given to 
Mrs. Porter, who has now completed the sketches and measurements of the large 
collection of bronze implements in the Cambridge Museum, and the next to Miss M. 
Levin, who has done many of the North Country museums and collections as well 
as the London Museum, and has placed these and a considerable number of others upon 
cards. Mr. E. C. Middleton has also drawn most of the specimens in the museums and 
private collections of the Midland Counties. 
Many others have helped in making sketches, including some of the boys at Eton, 
Harrow, Winchester, Wellington and Tonbridge, who have drawn the specimens in 
their school museums. We have also received great assistance from the Curators of 
many museums. 
Mr. E. C. R. Armstrong has kindly lent to the Committee the original drawings 
of his catalogue of gold ornaments ; these are being copied on to cards. 
London (with the exception of the British Museum), Middlesex, Kent and Surrey 
are practically finished, Bucks, Herts, Essex and Sussex nearly so, as are Cornwall, 
Devon, Dorset and Gloucestershire. Northumberland, Durham, Cumberland, and 
Westmorland have also been finished all but a few specimens in private hands, and the 
majority of the museums in Yorkshire and the Midland Counties are finished. 
The number of cards completed on June 30 was about 4,300, which means that 
about 2,650 have been completed during the year; besides this, a great number of 
sketches have been made which have not yet been placed on cards. 
It is too soon yet to form an accurate estimate of the number of specimens remaining 
to be drawn, but if equal progress is made during the coming year it should be possible 
at its close to give an approximate forecast of the work outstanding. 
Towards the close of 1920 the Committee issued an appeal for funds, in response 
to which sufficient money has been received to enable them to continue the work.
