Abstract
THE second annual report of this survey of Great Britain records that thirty-one counties are now completed or very nearly completed, comprising nearly 8,700 sheets. More than a third of the area of the country is covered by these maps. Compared with the previous year, progress has been rapid. Thirty-six counties, during the last year, have undertaken work for the survey and there are now only four counties in which nothing or very little has been done, namely Essex, Carmarthen, Argyll and Perth, but considerable help is still needed in the West Riding of Yorkshire outside the completed Sheffield area. The director of the Survey also asks for the assistance of volunteer workers in the counties of Somerset, Westmorland, Wiltshire, Peebles, Inverness and Sutherland. Work on the reduction of the results to a scale of one inch for publication is proceeding actively on several sheets in England and Scotland, including Cromer, Ipswich, Ullapool and Liverpool.
