PROTECTION OF ANCIENT MONUMENTS.
Mr. R. F. Jessup (Autumn Cottage, Ditton, Maidstone) has been appointed Chief Correspondent for Kent to the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments in succession to the late Mr. Richard Cooke. Mr. Jessup would be pleased at any time to receive information from members regarding monuments which appear to be worthy of preservation ; it should be noted, however, that buildings in ecclesiastical use and buildings occupied by other than a caretaker cannot in general be scheduled for preservation under the Ancient Monuments Acts.

GENERAL.
   The attention of members is again invited to the appeals for their co-operation in making and preserving records of churches and buildings of historic and architectural interest, as well as in the preservation of

documentary records of historical interest. These appeals were made in the Council’s Report for 1940, which will be found bound up with the recently issued volume of Archaeologia Cantiana. The Council take this opportunity of thanking members who have already responded in one way or another to such appeals.
   Once again attention is directed to the notices printed on the back of the title-page of "Archaeologia Cantiana" indicating when and to whom subscriptions should be paid and containing other information designed to facilitate business. At the present time there is a special need for the introduction of new members and it is earnestly hoped that activity in this direction during the current year may be sufficient to keep the membership at least up to its present level.
                        By Order of the Council,
                                     EDWARD HARRISON,
9th April 1942.                          Hon. Gen. Secretary.

 
Important. The Hon. Gen. Secretary asks for the present addresses of: Miss C. M. Bellhouse, Mrs. Beatrice Browning, B. W. Card, J. Cook, Miss X. M. Daniel, Mrs. G. Druce Lander, Mrs. Roper-Lumley-Holland, Capt. A. Stokes, and Mrs. H. L. Tatham.
