KNUBLEY: THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT CARDIFF. 63 
Mr. Kenward expressed his admiration for the one-inch Ordnance 
Map. He said that he had made forty or fifty journeys on foot 
through every part of North Wales, and had never found the map at 
fault. 
SECTION H. 
Aid in Anthropological Exploration.—Dr. Garson stated 
that at last year’s Conference he had called attention to the existence 
of a Committee for giving advice on this subject. As an illustration 
of the evil arising from neglecting the assistance thus offered, he 
mentioned a case which had come under his notice during the year, 
in which a large barrow had been opened at a cost of £100. A large 
number of valuable skeletons had been found, but only the skulls and 
a few long bones of at most three of the skeletons had been sent to 
him to work up; the rest of the bones had not been preserved. 
Thus a barrow with a number of skeletons had been simply destroyed 
and the money wasted. The exploration had been done as a piece 
of local work, and if application had been made to the Committee of 
Aid, they could have given directions, or sent someone down to assist 
the Local Committee. Dr. Garson pointed out that the Committee 
of Aid did not propose to take the work out of the hands of, or to 
lay claim to the credit due to, local effort ; they wished only to give 
assistance and advice. He, therefore, urged the delegates to bring 
the existence of this Committee under the notice of their Societies. 
Dr. Vachell said that he could bear out the remarks made by 
Dr. Garson. Some Roman remains had been found at Llantwit 
Major, amongst them being some very fine skeletons. Permission had 
been obtained to carry on excavations, but they were uncertain 
whether they would be stopped, and ultimately they were prevented 
from carrying on the work. Several skulls were obtained, but not the 
remaining portions of the skeletons, as they had no means at hand of 
Preserving the bones, and in a few days the latter crumbled to pieces. 
The skulls were sent to General Pitt-Rivers, who reported that these 
Were of no use without the other parts of the skeletons. 
Registration of Prehistoric Remains.—Dr. Garson said 
that the Secretary of this Committee, Mr. J. W. Davis, was not present 
at the Cardiff Meeting, but a report had been presented to Section H. 
The Rev. J. O. Bevan stated that the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field 
Club had decided to prepare a map similar to that which had been 
Prepared for Kent. They were going to appoint representatives In 
every parish, and to request them to send particulars of any objects 
of interest, and to enter the positions of such objects on the Ordnance 
Maps. — He had been empowered by his Society to ask any of the 
Feb, 1892.
