QUEBIES AND REQUESTS. 



CHURCHYARD INSCRIPTIONS. 



'The Key. E. H. Gtoddard would be glad to hear from anyone who 

 is willing to take the trouble of copying the whole of the in- 

 scriptions on the tombstones in any churchyard, with a view to 

 helping in the gradual collection of the tombstone inscriptions 

 of the county. Up to the present, about thirty-five churches 

 and churchyards have been completed or promised. 

 WILTSHIRE PHOTOGRAPHS. 



The attention of Photographers, amateur and professional, is called 

 to the Report on Photographic Surveys, drawn up by the 

 Congress of Archaeological Societies and issued with No. 84 

 of the Magazine. The Committee regard as very desirable 

 the acquisition of good photographs of objects of archeeological 

 and architectural interest in the county, in which special at- 

 tention is given to the accurate presentment of detail rather 

 than to the general effect of the picture. The Secretaries would 

 be glad to hear from anyone interested in photography who 

 would be willing to help on the work by undertaking to photo- 

 graph the objects of interest in their own immediate neighbour- 

 hoods. The photographs should, as a rule, be not less than 

 half-plate size, unmounted, and must be printed in permanent 

 process. 



CATALOGUE OF PORTRAITS EXISTING IN THE COUNTY. 



At the Congress of Archaeological Societies held December 1st, 

 1897, it was resolved to attempt to compile in each county a 

 list of all the Portraits at present existing in public and private 

 hands; oils, water-colours, drawings, miniatures, busts, &c, 

 to be included. A simple form lias been drawn up by 

 Mr. Lionel Oust, keeper of the National Portrait (Mlery, 

 which is now ready for distribution. Any lady or gentleman 

 who is willing to undertake to fill up these forms with the 

 details of portraits is requested to communicate with the 

 Honorary Secretaries. It is intended that the lists for Wilt- 

 shire, when completed, shall be copied in duplicate; one cop}' 

 to be deposited at the National Portrait Gallery , the other to be 

 retained by the Wilts ArchEeologica] Society. Unmounted 

 photos, or sketches, of the portraits accompanying the returns 

 are very desirable.
