Abstract
Now that most members of the overseas party of the British Association have, happily, returned safely from the meeting in Australia, it seems opportune to remind members of the scheme for the exchange of photo-graphic prints announced in the Journal (issued in Melbourne on August 12, 1914, p. 2), for which Dr. A. Holt and myself became responsible. The aim of the scheme was to economise our stock of plates and to prevent unnecessary duplicating of prints. Thus in the advance party in West Australia one member took, a photograph of one striking object, a second member of another, on the understanding that all members of the party would be able to obtain, at their own expense, copies of the prints of the photographs, either by an exchange of photographic prints taken by themselves or by payment of the cost of the print supplied. It was an essential feature of the scheme that the photographers themselves should not suffer financial loss in meeting the requests of members for prints.
