Mr. Alfred Trapnell has again kindly added to the 

 collection of Bristol china by the gift of specimens of 

 Champion's hard porcelain, consisting of two cups, two 

 saucers, and a slop-basin. 



The Committee have also received from an anony- 

 mous donor a beautifully painted miniature portrait of 

 the late Mrs. Hannah More. The portrait is on ivory, 

 in a folding case. 



Mention should also be made of the gift by the 

 Misses Tyndall of a cabinet containing more than a 

 thousand specimens of land and marine shells. They 

 were collected by the late Mr. T. O. Tyndall, of the 

 Fort, Tyndall's Park, and were presented to the 

 Museum by the Misses Tyndall in memory of their 

 father. 



The Committee have much pleasure in recording 

 the gift of a miscellaneous assortment of objects derived 

 from the most recent explorations in Egypt. In their 

 report on the past year's work, the Committee of the 

 Egypt Exploration Fund remarked that the work of the 

 year extended over every historical period of Egypt ; 

 and one result of this is that their presentation to the 

 Museum this year has led to the filling up of many 

 chronological gaps in our collections. Amongst the 

 numerous objects thus newly incorporated are the 

 following :— A fine collection ol flint implements, 

 bracelets of the earliest dynasties, inscribed plaques, 

 figure of the goddess Nebhat, remains of wooden box 

 inscribed and ornamented, pair of leather sandals, 

 bronze rings and key, portrait of lady forming part of 

 the cartonnage ot a mummy, etc., etc.
