REPORT OF THE CLUB'S DELEGATE AT
THE MEETING OF THE CORRESPONDING
SOCIETIES' COMMITTEE OF THE BRITISH
ASSOCIATION AT DOVER, SEPTEMBER,
1899.
THE meetings of the Conference were held in the Mayor's
Parlour at the Town Hall, Dover, on Sept. 14th and 19th,
at 3 p.m. A brief report, which was taken as read, was in the
hands of every delegate on the 14th. In it the Corresponding
Societies' Committee of the British Association expressed their
pleasure at being able to state that the resolution passed at the
Bristol Conference of Delegates last year, on the desirability of
securing the co-operation of the Coast Guard, in making
systematic observations on Coast Erosion, had been adopted
by the Council of the Association, and favourably received by
the Admiralty. Forms, drawn up by a Committee of the
Council of the Association, which had been appointed to con-
sider the subject, have been issued by the Admiralty, and many
have already been returned, filled in by the Coast Guard. Of course
the object of these forms is to promote uniformity in the nature
of the observations made, and to direct attention to those points
which most need to be noted. As it is in the highest degree
desirable that observers belonging to the local scientific societies
should know what kind of information is most required—the
services of the Coast Guard being designed to supplement, not
to supersede, their own—copies of Forms I. and II. are here
given :—
