informed that Mr. Percy Farrer, of Durrington, Wilts., has under- 

 taken to schedule the earthworks of a part of Wiltshire, including 

 Salisbury Plain. 



It is hoped that these examples may be widely followed, and that 

 the appointment of the Royal Commission may serve to stimulate the 

 work of recording for which this Committee was originally constituted. 



The officers in charge of the revision of the Ordnance Survey on the 

 scale of 25 inches to the mile have agreed to keep the Committee 

 informed of the position of their field parties, in order that any earth- 

 works hitherto omitted or insufficiently shown may be made good in the 

 next revision. This information will be forwarded to the Secretaries of 

 the local societies concerned, and the Committee trusts that advantage 

 will be taken of this practical arrangement for mutual assistance 

 between the Ordnance Survey and the Archaeological Societies. 



The Committee is now in correspondence with the Commission 

 d'etude des Enceintes prehistoriques et Fortifications anhistoriques, a 

 development of the Societe Prehistorique de France which during the 

 last three years has collected a great quantity of material for an 

 inventory of the ancient fortifications of France. We take this oppor- 

 tunity of mentioning that the President of the French Committee, 

 Dr. Adrien Guebhard, A.F.M. (4, Rue de l'Abbe de l'Epee, Paris), 

 will be glad to exchange reprints with the authors of any papers relating 

 to our subject. 



We have again to thank the Victoria History Syndicate for the 

 presentation of the original plans of earthworks reproduced in the 

 volumes of the History. 



PRESERVATION.— The transfer of Maiden Castle, Dorset, to 

 the guardianship of H.M. Office of Works has now been completed, 

 and it is understood that steps will be taken to check the destruction of 

 the ramparts by rabbits. 



Thetford Castle Meadow and Hill, Norfolk, have been leased by 

 Thetford Corporation for ninety-nine years, and the site was formally 

 opened as a public park on September 5th, 1908, by Lady William 

 Cecil, the lessor. 



Stokeleigh Camp, on the Somerset side of the Avon gorge, has, 

 through the generosity of Mr. G. A. Wills, been saved from destruction,
