February 20, 1891.] the photographic news. 143 zinc-plate printing machine, which, when necessary, can print 900 impressions an hour. Until 1881 the 6-inch map was engraved on copper, the reduced detail being obtained from the sso map by photography. In 1881 it was decided to abandon en graving in favour of photo-zincography, and the practice was to pin four 27’00 sheets together with their proper margin, and reduce them at once to a quarter-sheet. The present system is to take a blue impression of each , so sheet as it is being printed for publication, and, upon this, to pen into scale all detail that is to appear on the 6-inch map in black, whilst the names, ornaments, trees, and numerals are typed in an ex aggerated style, so as to be of suitable size when reduced. All parcel and area numbers and unimportant detail are not penned in, and, being in blue, do not photograph. Four such plans, forming a 6-inch quarter-sheet, are placed together, and reduced at once by photography. The parks, mud, and sand are inserted in a tint by transfer from copper after the photo-transfer has been laid down on zinc. The six-inch quarter-sheet was adopted partly for convenience, the size being much more handy than that of the full sheet, and partly for acceleration of publication, for a quarter-sheet can be published as soon as the four component ys plans arc received, without waiting for the other twelve. It may be mentioned that, as an experiment, sixteen tskso plans were placed in position on a screen with proper margins, and a full six-inch sheet produced from them in one operation. There was a slight distortion towards the corners, but I believe this may eventually be overcome. THE PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY. Or the report of the council of the Photographic Society read at its last meeting, the following portions are of the more general public interest:— The Exhibition was, on the whole, satisfactory, although there was a diminution in the number of visitors as compared with the corresponding number for 1889. The following table, giving the results of the analysis of the last six exhibitions, shows the details for comparison : were 163 exhibitors, comprising 82 members, and 81 non ¬ Portraits Landscape Year.

There were 6 foreign exhibitors (America 2, France 1, Germany 2, India 1). The 163 exhibitors comprised 83 professionals and 80 amateurs. 658 frames were hung, con taining 808 photographs, of which 328 were portraits, 53 figure subjects, 318 landscapes and architectural subjects, and 79 miscellaneous, including a lew animals and marine views. It is with great pleasure that the council has been able to take the new premises at 50, Great Russell Street, where the meetings are now held. The guarantee fund which was raised last year will probably save the Society from losing any portion of its invested capital through-this new departure, and it is hoped that the increased conveniences which the Society now affords will attract a sufficient number of new members to enable the council to prolong the period of three years for which the premises have been taken. It is requested that members will bring this matter to the notice of others who are interested in photography, and that they will endeavour to obtain additional members for the Society. Efforts to establish a library and a museum are being made, and to obtain copies of all English and important foreign photographic publications which we do not now receive. The reading-room and dark-room are already available daily for the use of members. Mr. Edwin Cocking has resigned the appointment of assis tant secretary, after having served the Society zealously for fifteen years. Mr. H. A. Lawrance, whose wide acquaintance with photography and photographic literature will be of great use in carrying out our new arrangements, has been appointed to the office. The Journal has been published as usual. It is believed that the “Abstracts,” which have been prepared for it each month by Mr. Lawrance, have been found to be very useful. The scheme for the establishment of a Photographic Institute has taken more definite form. A paper on the subject was read by Dr. Lindsay Johnson in February last. The ex-Lord Mayor (Sir Henry Isaacs) and several other prominent gentle men have expressed great interest in the subject. A report has been drawn up showing the general lines on which it seems desirable to work, and a copy of this report has been sent to all metropolitan and provincial photographic societies, with a view to eliciting the opinions of the photographic public on the scheme which has been brought forward. It is hoped that, during the current year, substantial progress may be made. During the year, a committee was appointed to consider the question of lens standards, and to report on the advisability of introducing other standards (such as for weights, measures, intensity of light, &c.) for use in photography. It was intended to continue the work carried out by the Society in 1881, but not to alter any of the standards then laid down. The committee has made a report so far as the extension of the lens standards of 1881 is concerned, and the amended memorandum of lens standards will be published as soon as possible. It is regretted that no papers were read during the year on the application of photography to its employment as an art, the meetings of this Society having been devoted to the scientific rather than the artistic side of our subject. The council wish to state that papers devoted to artistic photography will always be welcomed. As already announced in the Journal, the progress medal for this year has been awarded to Lieut.-Col. J. Water house, B.S.C. The council has elected Dr. Miethe, astronomer at the Potsdam Observatory, Berlin, an honorary member of the Society. In the third paragraph from the end of the foregoing quotation, on the amendment of Mr. J. W. Swan, a wise alteration was made in the wording of the report where it originally read that the meetings of the Society "should be devoted to the scientific rather than to the artistic side of photography,” a remark which would mean the volun tary abrogation of a large section of the influence of any society in the photographic world. The following particulars are from the report of the treasurer, Mr. W. S. Bird: — I have the pleasure to report that, while our losses by resig nation, death, and default amounted to 20, we have enrolled 42 new members, and are dealing with fresh applications. The list of members comprises 5 honorary, 59 life, 369 ordi-
