12 REPORT or THE 



income, the Council earnestly solicit contributions from those 

 who have not already subscribed to the Museum Enlargement 

 Fund. 



It will be in the recollection of the members that, at the last 

 annual meeting of the Society, a subscription was proposed for 

 the purpose of erecting some permanent memorial of the esteem 

 and respect entertained for the late E-ev. Charles Wellbeloved. 

 A considerable sum having been collected for this purpose, 

 from members of the Society and other friends, the Committee 

 appointed to carry out the wishes of the subscribers obtained 

 a copy of the only existing portrait of Mr. Wellbeloved, and 

 presented this, with a marble commemorative tablet, to the 

 Society, recommending that the former should be suspended in 

 the Vestibule of the Museum, and the latter fixed in a promin- 

 ent position in the Hospitium. Both these recommendations 

 have been carried out. 



The principal additions to the Library during the past year, 

 have consisted of Mc. Lauchlan's great work on the Roman 

 Remains in the North of England, presented by His Grace the 

 Duke of Northumberland, and " Facsimiles of Select Egyptian 

 Papyri, in the Collection of the British Museum," presented 

 by the Trustees of that Institution. The Committee of the 

 "Wellbeloved Memorial Fund" have also presented to the 

 Library two important works purchased by them at the sale of 

 the late Mr. Wellbeloved's Library, with the surplus of the fund 

 at their disposal. These are Mr. Wellbeloved's copies of Drake's 

 " Eboracum," and Horsley's " Britannia Romana," both en- 

 riched with MS. notes and additional plates by their late owner. 

 This circumstance, and the fact of their having belonged to 

 one who for so many years took the most active interest in this 

 Society, must render these volumes very interesting additions 

 to its Library. Two other volumes from the same source have 

 also been presented, namely, Eckhel's " Numi Anecdoti," and 

 Vulpes' " Strumenti Chirurgici," the latter especially valuable 

 as serving to elucidate the examples of Roman surgical instru- 

 ments, contained in the Museum. For these books the Society 

 is indebted to Mr. Wellbeloved's successor as Curator of Anti- 

 quities, the Rev. John Kenrick.
