MAYER MUSEUM. 



During the past year numerous additions have been made in the 

 various departments, particularly in the collection of local pottery. The 

 Ethnographical Department has also received numerous additions, and 

 has become more fully developed than any other department in the 

 Mayer Museum. 



New balustrade cases have been placed in the Pottery Gallery, and 

 have materially assisted in the better display of the specimens, and they 

 have also considerably eased the wall cases in which the specimens were 

 previously cramped for space.
