12 Rcpoii of the Brand Comviittee.

collections have lately been catalogued, and the Committee believe that the reproduction of some of these illustrations would greatly enhance the value of the new edition of Brand's Popular Antiqjiitics.

The grant of ^^"20 iriade to the Committee by the Society last year has been expended in ordinary clerical assist- ance, in research work at the Museum, and in typing the Classified Catalogue for printing. This last is sadly expen- sive in proportion to the means at command, but necessary if the printers' type is to be properly set up so as to display the classification clearly. Voluntary help in type-writing will be gladly accepted. The Committee beg to apply for an equal or, if possible, a larger sum in 19 17.

Finally, they beg respectfully to observe that it is only by the whole-hearted co-operation of members that the undertaking can be carried out in a manner worthy of the subject and of our country.
