4. That some arrangement should be made to supply a 

 scale in all illustrations, since without this many are practically 

 valueless. 



Particulars of size can be added in the accompanying description, but 

 it is far better that an actual scale should be given by the inclusion in the 

 picture of a graduated staff or a 3 ft. rod or walking stick, which may 

 generally be unobtrusively introduced. In a series of photographs of 

 Roman masonry now in preparation for the Society of Antiquaries a 

 graduated scale,* marked clearly with English and French measures, is in 

 all cases included. The scale must, of course, be placed in the same plane 

 as the object to be photographed. 



The Congress most strongly recommends the adoption of the double 

 scale, which will render the photographs of European value, and materially 

 assist English scholars in the work of comparison. 



5. That a description in all cases accompany the photo- 

 graph, giving the size, general condition, and as many particulars 

 as possible of the object illustrated. 



6. That all particulars as to history, date, etc., be carefully 

 edited by competent authorities, as otherwise much false and 

 often ridiculous information may be spread and perpetuated. 



7. That the copies of the photographs for the collection 

 be mounted by the curator on stout cards, uniform with those of 

 the Warwickshire Survey, and the descriptive particulars legibly 

 written or printed on the back, and the title on the front. 



The plan adopted in Warwickshire of selecting a Hundred for the 

 work of each year, and committing one square of the 6-inch Ordnance 

 Map to individual or associated workers, provides for a systematic and 

 exhaustive record that will be much more valuable than desultory or 

 haphazard contributions. The jealousies that might arise in the selection 

 of examples of prominent interest will also be avoided. 



Where a county is divided amongst several Photographic Societies, 

 the number of localities to be illustrated can be increased accordingly. 



The following Rules are copied from those of the Warwickshire 

 Survey Section of the Birmingham Photographic Society : 



" That the 6-inch Ordnance Map be adopted as the basis of the 

 Survey. 



" That the work be conducted, as far as may be convenient, on the 

 lines of the Hundreds. 



* Printed copies of this scale (Price 6d., post free, or 5s. per dozen), can be 

 obtained on application to the Assistant-Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries, 

 Burlington House, London, W.
