An archaeological survey of Roman Remains in Wales has been partially attempted by several members of the Cambrian Archaeological Association; but, to be brought to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion, it requires the co-operation of many local as well as general observers; and it also ought to be conducted upon, as well as re¬ ferred to, some common basis of operations. The Roman roads and camps have been partially examined and traced in Glamorgan, Cardiganshire, Pembrokeshire, and Mont¬ gomeryshire ; the survey has been carried on still more completely in Flintshire, Anglesey, Caernarvonshire, and Merioneth; while in Monmouthshire very great pains have been taken, attended with marked success, by Mr. Lee, of Caerleon. It is much to be desired that all archaeologists, who take an interest in this branch of Cambrian antiquities, should combine their efforts, and should agree upon a common plan of observation, and of, what is very important, verification. The unaided efforts of any one observer ought to be amplified, verified, and systematized by those of other independent observers; it is only thus that archaeological truth can be elicited and confirmed.
