 Architectural Court. 



This department of Bristol Antiquities is at present 

 located in a large and well-lighted room in the base- 

 ment, where persons who are desirous of inspecting such 

 objects as do not lend themselves to exhibition in the 

 Bristol Room may do so on application to the Superin- 

 tendent. It is to be hoped that ere long a suitable room 

 or building may be added in which to display these re- 

 mains of Bristol's architecture of the past to better 

 advantage. 



The more important among the many objects that 

 have been presented are two carved stone chimney-pieces 

 of the XVIIth Century, from Church Lane, St. Michael's, 

 and Jacob Street, St. Philip's, the old Guard-House 

 Passage Doorway, removed from Wine Street in 1881, 

 XVIIIth Century door-head and leaden rain-water head 

 from old house in Temple Street, and various other por- 

 tions of interior decoration and stone carving. 



Cases. 



Two new C-Cases have been added during the year, 

 one being presented by Dr. Walter Saise for the display 

 of his Afghan silver objects, etc. In the other, which 

 corresponds in size, is exhibited the Greek Askos Vase, 

 which is now seen to better advantage.

The following Lectures have been delivered by the 

 Superintendent in the Museum Lecture Theatre :— 

 Jan. 27th . . " Windsor Castle and its Art Treasures." 



Feb: 24th « Animals in Art."
