KNUBLEY: THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT CARDIFF. 59 
SECTION C. 
Geological Photography.—Mr. O. W. Jeffs stated that the 
work of this Committee, of which he was Secretary, had made satis- 
factory progress during the year, and he expressed his thanks to the 
Corresponding Societies not only for the assistance which they had 
rendered by supplying photographs, but also for the interest which 
they had raised in different parts of the country. As a result of the 
work, an exhibition of photographs had been arranged in the meeting- 
room of Section C. The total number of photographs received 
during the year was 300. With respect to amateur photographic 
societies, Mr. Jeffs stated that their Committee had not yet received 
from them the assistance which they had hoped. Although a large 
number of people in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, had 
helped them, it was necessary to point out that what was now 
wanted was work of a more systematic character. An excellent 
example had been set by the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union, which 
had sent in the largest number of photographs received from any 
one Society. 
The Rev. H. H. Winwood raised a question with respect to the 
obtaining of copies of the photographs. The amateur photographer 
took the negatives, but did not wish to be troubled with multiplying 
prints. He thought it desirable that the name of the person holding 
the negative should be made known in order that copies of any 
particular photograph might be obtained. 
Mr. Jeffs said that in order to remove any misconception which 
might exist with respect to the purpose of the Committee, he would 
State that their first object was to have a typical collection of photo- 
graphs illustrating the geological features of the country, which would 
be deposited in some place not yet decided upon. Their next object, 
which was of great importance, was to enable teachers and lecturers 
to have copies of any of the photographs that might be desired. In 
furtherance of this object they had already published in their Report 
for 1890,* and had continued in their present Report, a list of 
photographs, giving particulars, and the name of the photographer 
from whom they could be procured. Any persons wanting copies 
could obtain them by writing. Of course the fixing of price was 
a local matter and beyond the control of the Committee ; he thought 
that some of the photographers might be generous enough to present 
copies in the interests of science. Mr. Jeffs added that their 
Committee could not undertake to hold the negatives. 
Mr.C. J. Watson suggested that copies of the photographs should
