 MUSEUM OF ANTIQUITIES. 



Since the last Report much has been done in the 

 way of mounting and labelling small objects in the 

 Museum rooms. The internal fittings of several of the 

 cases have been re-covered with dark green cloth. 



The principal additions to the various departments 

 are dealt with in the following remarks. 



Room No. I. 



Egyptian Antiquities. 



The donations from the British School of Archaeo- 

 logy in Egypt this year include various stelae, Ptah 

 shrine, limestone stool, fragment of fluted column 

 (Rameses II.) and other carved stone blocks, and various 

 small objects, such as stone weights, vases, scarabs, 

 beads, etc. These were recovered from excavations at 

 Memphis and Athribis by Prof. Flinders Petrie and 

 students, including Mr. Ernest Mackay, of Clifton, who 

 has given assistance in the labelling. 



Assyrian Antiquities. 



Six casts of Assyrian slabs, from the originals in 

 the British Musum, have been added. They represent 

 Ashur-nasir-pal (B.C. 885-860) hunting the lion, and 

 Ashur-bani-pal (B.C. 668-626) in various scenes of the 

 chase. 



Greek and Roman Antiquities. 



Nothing worthy of mention has occurred in these 

 departments.
