Thos. Chapman, Esq., has presented a pair of 



Stag's horns, dugout of a peat-moss near Elsinore. 



Mr. Thomas Parkm, Jun., has contributed a 



handsome bow, and a large fan, from Candy in 



Ceylon. 



Among these curiosities may be mentioned some 

 produced at home, by John Winspear, a young 

 man of Whitby, who has given several articles of 

 iron-work in miniature ; viz, a smith's anvil, with 

 a horse shoe, several hammers, pincers, a very 

 small two-bladed knife, some pairs of scissors, so 

 minute that 18 of them would weigh only a grain, 

 and a set of half a dozen knives and forks, extremely 

 small and handsome. 



While, thus, the interesting contents of the 

 Museum are increasing so rapidly ; while the most 

 distant lands and seas are contributing to its 

 treasures ; while it is daily becoming richer in 

 monuments of ancient industry, and of modern 

 ingenuity ; it is reasonable to expect a proportionate 

 increase in the number of subscribers, and of ac- 

 tivity and zeal in the present members. Accor- 

 dingly this year has brought some new members, 

 among whom is the Hon. Wm. Buncombe, M.P., 

 a Life Governor. — We are also thus encouraged 

 to hope, that something more may soon be done, in 

 providing greater convenience for arranging and 

 exhibiting specimens by glass cases, on such parts 

 of the walls as are not yet occupied.
