collection has been placed on exhibition in a wall-case, 

 there not being sufficient accommodation at present for 

 the larger objects. It is also impossible under existing 

 circumstances to exhibit to advantage the splendid 

 native costumes in the collection, which, together with 

 the remainder of the objects, are temporarily stored 

 away against future provision for their suitable display. 



Room No. III. 



Industrial Art Collection. 



There have been comparatively few additions to 

 this Department. A large French carpet, made to 

 commemorate the Anglo-French Treaty of Commerce, 

 i860, has been lent for an indefinite period by Mr. R. 

 A. Xaylor. It is of exquisite workmanship, and has 

 proved a source of much interest. 



Room Xo. IV. 



Bristol or Local Collection. 



Many objects of local interest have been added to 

 this collection, and the series of Bristol sketches has 

 been extended. A fine collection of old Bristol cut glass 

 has been given by Mr. A. C. Powell, of the Phcenix 

 Glass Works: it consists of jugs, decanters, wine glasses, 

 tumblers, and salt cellars, and admirably illustrates the 

 splendid quality of the work carried on in this, one of 

 Bristol's most important industries of the last century. 



The collection of civic standard weights and 

 measures has been re-arranged and labelled, and they 

 now occupy one of the C- cases. 



Specimens of local ancient architecture are dealt 

 with in another paragraph.
