CORRESPONDING SOCIETIES' COMMITTEE. 117
Advisability of appointing a Committee for the Photographic
Survey of Ancient Remains in the British Islands." It was
held, however, that much of the suggested work might be under-
taken by the Committee already in existence for collecting and
registering anthropological photographs. Ultimately certain
resolutions were passed and sent up to the Council, with the
view of obtaining information as to the present state of photo-
survey work in Britain, and possibly of publishing instructions
for the execution of a general scientific survey of the country.
At the second meeting, which was presided over by the
Rev. J. O. Bevan, Mr. Carleton Rea pleaded for greater
attention by local societies to the investigation of the Fungi
occurring in their districts. He pointed out that an annual
foray was quite insufficient for an adequate study of the fungus
flora of any district, and that investigations should be carried on
throughout the year. In the course of the discussion, your
delegate referred to the interest which the Essex Field Club had
always taken in the study of the local fungi, especially those of
Epping Forest.
Several subjects were recommended to the attention of local
societies, by which the work of some of the Committees of the
Association may be assisted. Among these may be noted (1)
the collection of local terms used in reference to geology and
geography, and (2) the collection of photographs of local ethno-
logical types in the village population before the race-elements
become indistinguishable by fusion. Mr. W. Mark Webb
appealed to members of local societies for specimens of
Centipedes and Millepedes, for use in the preparation of his
monograph for the Ray Society, and the Rev. T. R, R.
Stebbings renewed his appeal for specimens of Well-shrimps.
