with the rights of private property, but it was possible that there 

 might be more chance now for the passing of even such drastic 

 measures as those proposed by Mr. Acland. He himself had once 

 devised a scheme for preparing illustrations of the principal objects of 

 prehistoric interest that could be circulated and exhibited in schools ; 

 no doubt many flint and other implements might then be preserved 

 that were now thrown away. Possibly the Congress might, in con- 

 junction with the Society of Antiquaries, develop such a scheme. 



The Rev. E. Goddard (Wilts) thought such diagrams would be 

 most useful, and on his proposal, seconded by Canon Morris, it was 

 resolved — " That the Council of the Society of Antiquaries be asked to 

 consider the possibility of preparing, in conjunction with the Congress, 

 a scheme for circulating diagrams of prehistoric remains to all 

 educational institutions." 



Dr. Read then left the chair, which, after a vote of thanks to him, 

 was taken by Mr. C. F. Keyser. 



On the motion of Mr. Freer, the attention of societies was invited 

 to the desirability of their providing and marking 6 inch maps accord- 

 ing to the scheme of the Society of Antiquaries. 



On the proposal of Mr. Acland the secretary was directed to write 

 to the Royal Commissions on Ancient Monuments of England and 

 Wales, expressing the great satisfaction with which the Congress 

 viewed their appointment, and their earnest hope that some measures 

 for the preservation of the monuments might follow in consequence of 

 their reports. 



Mr. Nevill reported a letter from Sir H. George Fordham, Chair- 

 man of the Cambridgeshire County Council, pointing out the incorrect- 

 ness of the statement in the Minutes of the Congress of 1908, that the 

 Tithe maps were in the custody of the Clerks of the Peace. Accord- 

 ing to the Act one copy was to be deposited with the Registrar of the 

 Diocese, and the other with the Incumbent and Churchwardens of the 

 Diocese. 



The latter have, in perhaps the majority of cases, disappeared. 

 The Inclosure Awards ought to be in the custody of the Clerks of the 

 Peace, but are often missing. 



Mr. E. Owen stated that complete sets of the Tithe maps were in 

 the hands of the Board of Agriculture. 



Mr. Keyser said that it would be valuable if returns were obtained 

 by County Councils of all such documents in parish or other hands. 



Major Freer stated that this had been done in Leicestershire and 

 the results printed, and also in other counties. 



The Rev. F. W. Alington (East Herts), on behalf of Mr. W. B. 

 Gerish, honorary Secretary of his Society, brought forward a proposal 

 that the Record Office should be asked to provide a set of their
