The Catalogue of the Avery Library (No. 421) is useful for bibliographical purposes. For the transactions of archæological societies, see § 3: especially Archæologia, published by the Society of Antiquaries of London; the Journal of the British Archæological Association; and the Journal of the Archæological

Institute of Great Britain. Some of the publications of the local societies (§ 15) are also valuable. Recent volumes of Archaologia contain useful archæological surveys of various counties: George Payne, Kent, li. 447; John Evans, Hertfordshire, liii. 245; R. S. Ferguson, Cumberland and Westmorland, liii. 485. The Society of Antiquaries of London has continued these surveys as a series of separate publications, which now includes William Harrison's Lancashire, 1896, J. O. Bevan's Herefordshire, 1896, and T. J. George's Northants, 1904. For archæological magazines (the Antiquary, Archæological Review, Reliquary, etc.), see § 3a. See also §§ 27-30, 42 (prehistoric, Celtic, Roman, and Danish remains); various sections in the Victoria county histories (No. 839); and § 24 (castles). For some of the best of the local work, see No. 11776.

In October, 1908, a royal commission was appointed to make an inventory of the Ancient and Historical Monuments and Constructions connected with or illustrative of the contemporary culture, civilisation, and conditions of life of the people in England, excluding Monmouthshire, from the earliest time to the year 1700,' and to specify those which seemed most worthy of preservation. This commission, styled the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments and Constructions of England, printed with its first report, in 1910. (see Parl. Papers, 1910, vol. xxxvi.), an inventory of the historical monuments in Hertfordshire, and in 1912-13 it published an inventory of Buckinghamshire in two volumes. A similar commission for Wales and Monmouthshire, appointed a few months earlier than the English one, also made its first report in 1910, and published an inventory of the county of Montgomery in 1911, of Flint in 1912, and of Radnor in 1913. A like commission for Scotland has reported on Berwickshire (1909), Sutherland (1911), Caithness (1911), Wigtown (1912), and Kirkcudbrightshire (1914).
