300 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE, ETC. 
‘Work is now proceeding at the rear of the main chamber, where the 
width of the cave gradually contracts to a mere passage. It is hoped that 
the section under examination will be excavated down to the base level 
before the proposed visit to the cave by Section. H during the forth- 
coming meeting at Leicester, in which case the complete stratification of the 
cave deposits, 17 ft. in thickness, will be exposed to view.’ 
Since the York Meeting, the bone upon which a masked human figure 
is engraved, and also the engraved mammoth ivory lance point, have been 
presented to the British Museum. ‘The most important artifacts and a 
characteristic group of associated objects, faunal remains, etc., have been 
placed in the County Museum, Derby, in accordance with the decision of 
the Committee. 
The Committee desires to be reappointed, and makes request for a 
further grant to enable the work at Creswell to be completed.

DISTRIBUTION OF BRONZE AGE IMPLEMENTS. 
Report of Committee appointed to report on the Distribution of Bronze 
Age Implements (Prof. J. L. Myres, F.B.A., Chairman; Mr. H.J.E. 
PEAKE, Secretary; Mr. A. Lestig ARMSTRONG; Mr. H. BaALrour, 
F.R.S.; Mr. L. H. DupLey Buxton ; Prof. V. GorpoN CHILDE; 
Mr. O. G. S. Crawrorp ; Prof. H. J. FLeure ; Dr. Cyrit Fox). 
IT is now twenty years since this Committee was appointed at the 
Birmingham Meeting in 1913. _ Hitherto the Committee has been engaged 
in compiling an illustrated card catalogue of all.the ‘ Metal objects of the 
Bronze Age’ in museums and private collections in the British Isles, and 
it is able to report that, with insignificant exceptions, all the specimens 
in England and Wales have been drawn, measured and described, and it is 
hoped that by the time that the Association meets in Leicester all the 
cards will have been stored in the drawers of the cabinet, which is being 
housed for the Association by the Society of Antiquaries. 
At an early date it was found that if strict uniformity was to be preserved, 
all the cards should be prepared by one draughtsman. For this purpose 
the services of Mr. C. H. Howell, were engaged, and retained until.a few 
years ago, when the work, then nearing completion, became too intermittent 
to necessitate the services of a whole-time officer. Since then the cards 
have been prepared by Miss L. Chitty and Mrs. Michell-Clarke. While 
the funds necessary for the remuneration of these draughtsmen have been 
partly supplied by donations from generous patrons, a large part has been 
received from grants made to the Committee by the Association. The 
balance from these grants became exhausted before the end of 1932, since 
which date Mrs. Michell-Clarke has very kindly completed the work of 
drawing the specimens at the British Museum free of charge. Thus, ‘the 
Committee believes, it has full information respecting all the metal objects 
of the Bronze Age in England and Wales, excepting the specimens of 
foreign origin in the British Museum, the Ashmolean and the Museum at 
York. In addition, it has a complete series of cards from the Isle of Man 
and the Channel Islands, cards for the majority of the specimens in Scotland
