MAYEE COLLECTION. 



The second part of the Catalogue of this Collection, that on the 

 Pottery and Porcelain, is in preparation by Mr. Gatty. 



The issue of the first part of the Catalogue (on the Egyptian 

 Antiquities) having been nearly exhausted, a second edition is being 

 prepared, with numerous additional woodcuts. 



It has been found necessary for the protection and better exhibition 

 of this collection to provide additional cases and substitute others for 

 many which are imperfect. An annual sum has been set aside for this 

 purpose. During the last year a set of new table cases, extending round 

 one half of the upper gallery, has been added for the better exhibition 

 of the Wedgwood Collection.
