(a) General. 



The principal event of importance was the acquisition of the Seton-Karr 

 collection of Palaeolithic Flint Implements, from Thebes, and Neolithic 

 Flint Implements found by him in the Eastern Desert of Egypt, some at a 

 distance of about 30 miles from the Nile, and some nearer, details of 

 which will appear in a future number of the Bulletin of the Liverpool 

 Museums, and the interesting- series of Metal Castings and Ivory 

 Carvings from Benin City, West Africa, which will be described and figured 

 in the Bulletin No. 2. Other additions to the collections have been 

 made, as far as funds have permitted, and whenever an opportunity 

 occurred.
