Major Freer, F.S.A. (Leicestershire), moved the adoption of the 

 Report with a vote of thanks to the Secretary. He thought a strong 

 appeal should go out to the Societies to support the Earthworks 

 Report, the circulation of which had fallen off very considerably since 

 the charge of 2s. 6d. per one hundred copies had been agreed to at 

 the last Congress. 



Mr. Gray seconded the motion, and suggested that authors of 

 papers on excavations should always send a reprint to the Director- 

 General of the Ordnance Survey. 



Dr. J. P. Williams-Freeman (Hants) gave some particulars of his 

 schedule of the earthworks of Hampshire and laid before the Congress 

 his original plans, copies of which are in the hands of the Earthworks 

 Committee. He said he had found people extraordinarily diffident 

 about measuring earthworks, and dwelt on the importance of taking 

 measurements for the sake of comparison. 



The President spoke of the unprotected position of an earthwork 

 as compared with a buildiag, and insisted on the importance of 

 circulating the Earthworks Report as widely as possible in order to 

 educate and interest people in the subject. 



Mr. F. Were (Derbyshire), mentioned the Preceptory of the 

 Knights of Jerusalem at Stydd, Derbyshire, and said that his Society 

 would be glad of advice as to how to deal with these remains. 



The President said that this was hardly a matter for the Congress. 

 The Derbyshire Society, if not competent to deal with it, might refer 

 the question to the Society of Antiquaries. 



Mr. P. M. Johnston introduced a motion expressing the cordial 

 approval of the Congress of an arrangement now in operation in the 

 Diocese of Chichester, by which the Bishop has consented to submit 

 to an advisory Committee appointed by the Sussex Archaeological 

 Society, before issuing a faculty, any proposals that may hereafter 

 arise for enlarging, restoring, altering, rebuilding or re-fitting any 

 ancient church or chapel-of-ease within the Diocese ; an arrangement 

 by which the Bishop also invites warning and advice in the case of 

 proposed alterations of importance — and a resolution that the Bishops 

 of the other English and Welsh Dioceses be formally invited by the 

 Congress to accept the services of similar consultative committees, if 

 formed by the local archaeological societies. Mr. Johnston described 

 the genesis and working of the Committee, and mentioned cases in 

 which it had successfully intervened. Many small alterations and 

 refittings were often done without a faculty. The Bishop of 

 Chichester insisted on everything being submitted to him before a 

 faculty was granted. He was aware that in some Dioceses the
