The Committee’s Report was read at its July 21st, 1915, Exeter meeting. The Committee’s purpose was to note and record the current and past use of any Verbal Provincialisms in Devonshire, in either written or spoken language, that were not included in the lists published in the Association’s Transactions. The present lengthy Report provides a useful restatement of the Committees Rules for Inclusion in its records as well as a comprehensive index to all the words and phrases that had appeared in the Committee’s 27 previous reports.
