AN appeal is being made to all who are in- terested in photography, or the history, archae- ology, and science of the county of Kent, to become members and correspondents of the Photographic Record and Survey of Kent, and to contribute, if possible, half a dozen prints each year to the collection in the County Museum of Maidstone. The Survey is an excellent idea which might well be imitated elsewhere. Over five hundred views of Kent castles and churches, photographed by Mr. Kendrick from water-colour drawings made between 1797 and 1808 by H. Petrie have been added to the collection during the year ; and prints have been exhibited at Canterbury, Chislehurst, the Crystal Palace, and Guildford.

Prospectuses of the Survey and any infor- mation relating to it will be gladly supplied by the Secretary, Mr. H. E. Turner, at 14, Queen's Road, Tunbridge Wells.
