44 MUSEUMS. 
Twenty-four lectures were delivered by the members of the Staff 
and others on Monday evenings in the lecture theatre of the 
Museums, specially dealing with the various collections in the 
institutions. They were illustrated by specimens and lantern slides. 
Over 8,000 visitors were recorded in the Museums on these Monday 
evenings, and a large percentage attend the various lectures. 
Prof. Newberry, of the Institute of Archeology, gave a course 
of eight afternoon lectures during October and November, in the 
Museum Lecture Hall, on ‘‘ The Antiquities of Ancient Egypt,’’ in 
which special reference was made to the many interesting and 
important specimens contained in the Museum Collection. The 
course was followed through by an exceedingly appreciative 
audience, and the Museum Committee accorded thanks to Professor 
Newberry by resolution. It is suggested that these lectures shall 
form the basis of a guide to the Egyptian Gallery of the Museum. 
Professor Garstang, also of the Institute of Archeology, held a 
series of informal discourses and discussions on the replicas of 
Sculptures erected during the year in the Hittite Gallery. These 
important Hittite Monuments have been deposited on loan in the 
Museum, by the Liverpool Institute of Archeology, and have been 
examined with interest by many authorities, including Dr. Sayce, 
Professor of Assyriology, Oxford. He was particularly struck with 
their arrangement, as the side illumination brought out details 
which were not so well seen in the originals. The Museum is to be 
congratulated on being the first institution in this country having 
such a magnificent series of Hittite Monuments on exhibition. 
The Cretan Collection, deposited on loan by Professor Bosanquet, 
has had some important additions made to it, and the labelling of the 
exhibits is being proceeded with. 
The Romano-British Collections have been re-arranged in better 
cases, and some important casts of representative examples of 
Romano-British Sculpture, prepared under the authority of the 
Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, have been acquired, 
and will shortly be placed on exhibition.
