 several more lectures were given, and about half-past 1 o'clock 

 p.m., a procession was formed at the Council House, from 

 whence the Mayor and Corporation, together with the Bishop 

 and Clergy, proceeded to open the Museum. This was done 

 by an address from the Bishop of the Diocese, at the entrance 

 of the Museum, after which the procession advanced into the 

 Museum Room, and addresses were made from the platform, 

 the Bishop occupying the chair, when the Museum was handed 

 over by Mr. Blackmore to Trustees nominated for the pur- 

 pose. The members of the various deputations from learned 

 societies attending the meeting were called upon in succession, 

 and it fell to the Vice-President of this Society to express the 

 deep interest felt by the Bath Natural History and Anti- 

 quarian Field Club in the new Museum and its valuable 

 contents. 



The arrangements of the Blackmore Museum are very 

 perfect, and well suited to facilitate the study of the objects 

 contained in it. The room is large and lofty, and the 

 contents arranged in different cases, according to countries, all 

 of which are clearly lettered, and the design of the whole is 

 comprehended without difficulty. It is intended to pubhsh 

 an illustrated catalogue, descriptive of the whole series, which
