12 MUSEUMS. 
Tickets were issued, as usual, during the year (chiefly) to Artists, 
of whom a much larger number than heretofore have availed 
themselves of the advantages the Museum collections afford, and to 
Students of Natural History, Osteology and Dental Anatomy, who 
have made extensive use of the collections, mainly on the days when 
the Museums were closed to the public. This privilege was made 
use of by students on upwards of 700 different occasions during the 
year. The pupils studying at the Liverpool School of Art attend 
in a body, regularly once a week. 
The following, among others, have visited the Museums during 
the year for the purpose of inspecting the collections or other special 
object :-—Professor Boyd Dawkins, F.R.S., Manchester; Colonel 
Elwes, F.R.S.; R. I. Pocock, of the Zoological Society, Regent's 
Park, London; Dr. Charles F. Millspaugh, Curator, Department of 
Botany, Field Columbian Museum, Chicago, U.S.A.; Count Mutsu, 
Japanese Charge d’Affaires, Embassy, London; P. HE. J. Hemelryk, 
Japanese Consul, Liverpool; Ernest Breffit; E. Durant Greville, 
Mentone; Dr. Hoyle, Manchester; Professor Sayce; Professor 
Haddon, F.R.S.; Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., U.S. National Museum, 
Washington; Dr. Elliot Smith, F.R.S., Cairo; E. P. Thompson, 
Whitchurch; Dr. Arkle; His Excellency Lord Raglan, Governor 
of the Isle of Man; Herbert C. Winloch; Dr. E. Hartert, Director, 
Zoological Museum, Tring; C. E. Fagan, British Museum; 
Rey. Dr. Jessop, Canon of Norwich; F. G. Bridgman; Sir William 
MacEwen, F.R.S., Glasgow; and R. J. Ussher, Waterford. 
The Director would beg to draw renewed attention to the utter 
inadequacy of the staff to carry on efficiently the work of Museums 
so large as the Lord Derby and Mayer have now become. 
II].—Lecrurss. 
Twenty-four lectures were delivered by members of the Staff on 
Monday evenings, in the Lecture Theatre of the Museums. They 
were illustrated by specimens from the Museums and by lantern 
slides.
