forward it, or a record thereof, if the report is verbal, to the

Committee.

The Director of the Museum and Secretary of the

Antiquities Committee shall immediately inspect such sites or

remains or cause them to be inspected and shall report to the

Such sites or remains are to be regarded as falling under

report, or, if necessary, to the owner of the tenement in which the

sites or remains shall have been discovered.
