MUSEUM OF ANTIQUITIES. 



Since the publication of the last Report much has 

 been done in regard to the carrying out of the proposed 

 arrangement of specimens in the various departments. 

 The principal of these may here be mentioned, whilst 

 fuller particulars respecting some of the individual 

 objects will be found in the lists of donations and 

 purchases. The labelling of objects has also been an 

 important feature of the year's work, the larger ex- 

 planatory labels having been very much appreciated 

 by visitors. 



Room No. I. 



Pre-Historic Archaeology. 



A few additions have been made both by presenta- 

 tion and purchase, including an interesting series of wall- 

 diagrams illustrating Pre-historic Archaeology in West 

 Prussia, presented by the Director of the West Prussian 

 Provincial Museum at Danzig. A suitable translation 

 from the German has been made and duly framed 

 together with the plates, which are now hung in their 

 proper order on the walls of this room. 



Egyptian Antiquities. 



The collection has been much strengthened by 

 additional objects presented during the year by the 

 Committees of the Egypt Exploration Fund and the 

 Egyptian Research Account. 



Mr. E. Mackay has rendered the Superintendent 

 considerable assistance in the classification and arrange- 

 ment of the pottery, etc. 



For the better display of the mummy-cases a new 

 wall-case has been added.
