(35% each) and several (17%) to Geology, with three
general meetings (13%), but none to prehistoric, Roman,
medieval of industrial archaeology, as far as I can see.
This suggests that either the Club Members' archaeolo-
gical interests are dormant, or perhaps they are
satisfied elsewhere. Would enough members welcome an
archaeological excursion to justify its inclusion in
our programme? Would Council ponder on the
desirability of retaining Archaeology and related matter
within the scope of the Club's declared field of
interest and activities? But, in the meantime, more
Reports of archaeological finds from Members, please.
Yours faithfully, L. S. Harley
Letter to the Editor 19th June, 1975
Dear Sir,
Mr. E. G. Lloyd who, as you know, does a great deal of
work for us at the Centre, has recently completed an
investigation into distribution and origin of wild
service trees in Epping Forest.
We have sent copies of his report to various interested
bodies and since learning that members of the Essex
Field Club can still use the facilities of the library
at Passmore Edwards Museum, we have sent a copy to Mr.
Robertson for inclusion in the Essex Field Club archives.

THE CENSUS OF MEDIEVAL TILES IN ESSEX
As part of a national Census of Medieval Tiles in Britain,
under the direction of Elizabeth Eames, I am currently
recording decorated medieval floor tiles in situ in Essex
buildings, or known to have come from Essex sites of
buildings. The results of the census will be published
in book form on a County by County basis; the first
volume, describing the tiles of Dorset, will be pro-
duced by Phillimore and Co. this year.
