REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE, ETC. 



Photographs of Geological Interest.— Twenty-fourth Report of 

 Committee (Professors E. J. Garwood, Chairman, and S. H. 

 Keynolds, Secretary ; Mr. C. V. Crook, Mr. J. F. Jackson, Mr. 

 A. S. Eeid, Prof. W. W. Watts, and Mr. R. J. Welch). 



In the present report 521 photographs are listed, brmging the number in the collection 

 up to 8,145. Of these 265 are from the Reader series, and, adding them to the 829 

 Usted in the two previous reports, we have no less than 1,094 additions to the collection 

 from this source. The Committee are further in possession of several hundred of Mr. 

 Reader's negatives, which practically dupUcate subjects in the series, and have 

 consequently not been listed, while several hundred negatives were destroyed as 

 being of little or no geological interest. Probably not less than 2,000 of Mr. Reader's 

 negatives have been dealt with in all. 



The Committee deeply regret to have to record the death of one of their 

 number — Mr. Godfrey Bingley — who contributed an unsurpassed series of photo- 

 graphs to the collection. 



The following have kindly helped in the description of photographs included in 

 the present list : Mr. G. Barrow, Dr. H. H. Bemrose, Dr. F. W. Bennett, Prof. A. 

 Morley Davies, Miss M. S. Johnston, Mr. H. W. Monckton, Mr. R. S. Herries, 

 Dr. R. L. Sherlock, Dr. L. J. Wills, and Mr. G. W. Young. The Committee are 

 again greatly indebted to Miss M. S. Johnston for much kind help. 



The Committee have received from the National Museum of Wales, through Dr. F. J. 

 North, a valuable series of photographs taken by Mr. F. F. Miskin and illustrating 

 Somerset, Westmorland, Glamorgan, Pembroke and other parts of Wales. From the 

 same source comes a set illustrating river development in Brecon taken by Mr. W. E. 

 Howarth. The Committee have acquired, partly by purchase from Mr. A. J. Lewis 

 and partly by gift from Mr. J. Chalhnor, an extensive series of photographs illustrating 

 the effects at Aberystwyth of the storm of October 28, 1927. The Secretary contributes 

 sets from Argyle, Bute and the Isle of Eigg, and Mr. L. G. Anniss a series illustrating 

 the geology of Saltern Cove, near Paignton. Mr. J. F. Jackson contributes sets from 

 Dorset and the Isle of Wight.

 obtainable from the Secretary at the following rates : —

The Reader negatives being the property of the Committee, prints (J-plate) may

 before the publication of the next report to publish a fourth series of geological 

 photographs. 



The Committee recommend that they be reappointed. 



Twenty-fourth List of Geological Photographs. 

 From June 30, 1927, to June 30, 1928. 



List of the geological photographs received and registered by the Secretary of 

 the Committee since the publication of the last report. 



Contributors are asked to affix the registered numbers, as given below, to their 

 negatives, for convenience of future reference. Their own numbers are added in 

 order to enable them to do so. Copies of photographs desired can, in most instances, 

 be obtained from the photographer direct. The cost at which copies may be obtained 

 depends on the size of the print and on local circumstances over which the Committee 

 have no control.
