The foregoing purchases, with the exception of the picture 
bought under the terms of the Derby Bequest, were made, as in 
previous years, from the surplus of the Autumn Exhibitions 
Account. 
Cordial thanks are due to the generous donors whose gifts above 
recorded have considerably enhanced the value of the Permanent 
Collection. 
The following pictures, deposited on loan, have been withdrawn 
by the owners, viz. :— 
“The Nightingale,’ by R. W. Macbeth, R.A. 
“Cattle with landscape,’’ and ‘‘ Lions and Boa-Constrictor,’’ by 
William Huggins. 
There are now 1,316 items in the list of the Permanent 
Collection, of which 117 were, at 3lst December, 1912, on loan to

House 24, Central Library 20, Kirkdale Library 9, Everton
