A conjoint meeting of the Archaeological and 

 3 Dec, 1 910. Geographical Sections was held under the 

 presidency of Miss Rooper, the Chairman of the Geographical 

 Section, A. Scott, Esq., having recently died. The Chairmen of 

 both sections, Messrs. Scott and Brownen, proposed to discuss a 

 scheme having for its object a new map of the locality having 

 Bournemouth for its centre and showing the relationships of the 

 modern Ordnance Survey with the older Norman Domesday and the 

 Roman Centuriation. Great regret was expressed that this project 

 was interrupted by the death of Mr. Scott, but it was considered 

 advisable that Mr. Brownen should give his address on the 

 Centuriation of Britain by the Romans. Mr. Brownen noticed 

 several points on which himself and the late Mr. Scott were 

 prepared to act, but it was felt that any active work would have to be 

 postponed for a time. 



At this Section meeting Mr. Brownen, the chair-

 illustrated by diagrams and photographs.
