Fifth Report of the Committee, consisting of Sir JOHN LUBBOCK, Dr. JOHN EVANS, Professor W. BOYD DAWKINS, Dr. R. MUNRO, Mr. W. PENGELLY, Dr. HENRY HICKS, Professor MELDOLA, Dr. MUIRHEAD, and Mr. JAMES W. DAVIS, appointed for the purpose of ascertaining and recording the localities in the British Islands in which evidences of the existence of Prehistoric Inhabitants of the country are found. (Drawn up by Mr. JAMES W. DAVIS.)

YOUR Committee, in presenting their fifth report, have pleasure in drawing attention to the list of lake dwellings found in the British Islands compiled by one of their number.

The Sites of Lake-Dwellings or Crannogs known up to this Date in Great Britain and Ireland.

The following alphabetically-arranged lists have been compiled mainly from Munro's Lake Dwellings of Europe,' to which work we refer our readers for an epitome of the scientific results obtained from practical investigation, as well as further references to the voluminous literature on the subject. As many of the sites and remains of these ancient habitations have been destroyed in the course of drainage and other agricultural operations, and are now known to have existed merely from tradition or incidental allusions to them in the early annals of the country, we distinguish by an asterisk (*) those that have been carefully observed or more or less practically investigated, and when the recorded observations are of special archaeological value we give the reference to the original source of their publication. To include more than this, as, for example, the merest abstract of researches, would so greatly add to the length of this report that its tabular character would be entirely destroyed.
