To complete this record of our Coins and Tokens 

 mention may here also be made of the framed series of 

 English Coins minted in Bristol, which hangs in the 

 Bristol Room of the Art Gallery. These range from 

 the time of Harold to the beginning of the last century. 

 They were collected by the late Col. Bramble, F.S.A., 

 and were presented in January of the present year by 

 his widow, Mrs. Bramble, of Weston-super-Mare. Most 

 of them are described by Col. Bramble himself in the 

 Proceedings of the Clifton Antiquarian Club, Vol. III., 

 pp. 1 28-1 3 1. With these three separate collections, it 

 may now be said that the City has a varied assortment 

 of numismatic treasures. 



During the summer season the Committee took 

 advantage of the opportunity for effecting a further 

 improvement in the heating apparatus which serves for 

 both buildings. At considerable expense the boilers 

 have now been overhauled and fitted with means of 

 access for cleaning purposes. The winter weather has 

 thus been prepared for, and there should be no complaint 

 such as was formerly made. 



The expense referred to came upon the Committee 

 somewhat unexpectedly, and in conjunction with other 

 heavy expenditure during the last winter, in structurally 

 adapting the Greville Smyth Room to its important 

 purpose, they were somewhat straitened in their means, 

 and were prevented from making such an outlay as they 

 desired upon the picture galleries. As regards such 

 means as are at their disposal they need only say that 

 the utmost watchfulness and care continue to be exercised . 

 over questions of expenditure, and that no suitable 

 opportunity is lost in making improvements that may 

 be required and purchases that are possible.
