This Committee has already made two preliminary reports to the 
Association, in which the names of 367 villages or places in various parts 
of the United Kingdom have been indicated as especially to deserve 
ethnographic study. The list, large as it is, is not exhaustive. For 
these and such other villages and places as may appear to be suitable, 
the Committee propose to record— 
(1) Physical types of the inhabitants ; 
(2) Current traditions and beliefs ; 
(3) Peculiarities of dialect; 
(4) Monuments and other remains of ancient culture ; and 
(5) Historical evidence as to continuity of race. 
All communications should be addressed to ‘ The Secretary of 
the Ethnographic Survey, British Association, Burlington House,
