 mirror, oar, mallet, roller, foundation deposits, and other 

 remains of Xllth dynasty age ; a green glazed bowl of the 

 XVIIIth dynasty, and a Coptic stele. 



The Egypt Exploration Fund has presented a collection 

 of objects obtained at Antinoe. The list includes shoes, 

 sandals, combs, leather straps, and rosettes of the 2-6th 

 century A.D. Other objects of unknown date include spindle 

 wheels, fragments of mirrors, decorated wood-work, lamps, 

 glass, ornaments, and kohl sticks. 



Bristol Antiquities. 



The Romano-British material derived from Sea Mills at 

 various periods has been brought together, and a representa- 

 tive series selected and mounted in a " C" case in the 

 " Bristol " room. 



The material from the Roman Villa at Brislington was 

 similarly treated, and a " C " case filled with the selected 

 specimens. 



During the year assistance has been given towards the 

 excavation by Mr. Wm. Pountney, of the old potteries at 

 St. Ann's Chapel, Brislington, and a large collection of pots- 

 herds and other material has been passed over to the Museum. 



This material has thrown a flood of light upon many 

 little or unknown problems of the old Bristol pottery industry, 

 and established the fact that excellent Bristol Delft ware 

 was made as early as 1652 and 1653, dated fragments having 

 been found. Sir Arthur Church, who has examined the 

 material, is also of opinion that it can now be conclusively 

 proved that some of the delft ware hitherto attributed to 

 Lambeth, and some of the stone-ware formerly supposed to 

 be of Fulham manufacture, was made at Brislington.
