 the work. 



From the Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers, 

 per Sir Hercules Read, F.S.A., has been received the gift of a 

 series of selected flint implements from Northfleet, and also 

 a series from the collection of the late Mr. Richard Jones, of 

 Welling, Kent. The Northfleet series has been assigned to 

 the Le Moustier period, and includes a number of definite 

 types. The selection from the Jones bequest includes pala^o- 

 liths from Swanscombe, Kent, together with five Eoliths and 

 Palsoliths from Ash, and Bredhurst, Kent. 



Ethnography. 



The West African group has been increased by a valuable 

 series of objects collected on the French Ivory Coast by 

 the late Mr. Robert J. Salmon, and presented by his parents. 

 It includes carved figures, wooden masks, paddles, leather 

 bags, earthenware, bow and arrows, shields, swords, knives, 

 and various articles of dress. 



A silver Assegai taken in warfare from the Induna 

 Mapeza of the Matabele was obtained by purchase, and is 

 now exhibited. To the Maori collection have been added 

 coloured drawings of the heads of four Maori Chiefs, and of a 

 Maori girl, purchased from the artist, Major-General Robley. 



Egyptology. 



The collection of pottery and stone vases has been 

 brought together and arranged chronologically in order of 

 Dynasties. The pottery series is rich in forms of the Pre- 

 Dynastic period, but more examples of later periods are 

 much wanted. 



A collection of Egyptian sculptured slabs of various 

 periods has been mounted in a new wall case.
