The Rev. 0. W. Tancock, of Little Waltham Rectory, Chelmsford, 

 is Hon. Sec. of the St. -Alban's Committee, and E. A. Fry, Esq., of the 

 Worcester, and either of these gentlemen will be glad to answer 

 enquiries as to their method of work, so that a uniform plan may be 

 adopted in other Dioceses. 



The St. Alban's " DiocesaD Quarterly " for the past quarter (No. 15, 

 price 3d. post free, W. Root, Ilalstead, Essex) contains an account of 

 what has been done in the St. Alban's Diocese.* 



It is to be hoped that an effort will afterwards be made to get all 

 the Registers transcribed and indexed, and copies kept in the Parish 

 for reference. A small fee should be agreed upon as to be charged for 

 consultation of the Transcript for purposes of Genealogical research, 

 the charge for certified extracts from the original Registers remaining, 

 of course, as at present. 



The Committee are again indebted to Geo. W. Marshall, LL.D. 

 (Rouge Croix) for his revision of the list of Printed Registers. The 

 somewhat arduous labour of compiling and editing the Calendar has 

 been undertaken by Ralph Nevill, F.S.A. the Hon. Sec. of the Com- 

 mittee, and E. A. Fry, the Hon. Sec. cf the Parish Register Society. 



All who may publish to transcribe Registers in future are invited 

 to send particulars to either of the above named gentlemen, who have 

 undertaken to compile the next List.

Kensington. 



The particulars obtained of the Registers of Herts, will be printed in 

 Middlesex and Herts. Notes and Queries, commencing January, 1897 

 {Messrs. Hardy § Page, 44, Chancery Lane, W.C.). 



* The Worcester Diocesan Mag. for December, 1896 {Midland, Education 

 Co., Corporation Street, Birmingham, price 2^d.post free), contains a 

 similar Report for the Worcester Diocese. 



The First Report of the Committee, issued in 1892, contains advice as 

 to the transcription and publication of Registers, and a specimen 

 alphabet of the characters chiefly used. 



There are also Calendars of all Registers known to have been 

 transcribed or printed up to the date of issue. The Calendars 

 here given are supplementary to those in the First Report.
