TRANSFER TO THE COUNCIL. 
The negotiations which have for their object the 
transfer of the Grosvenor Museum building to the City are 
now nearly complete. The Society’s property in Collections, 
Furniture, Books, and Scientific Instruments, as well as its 
rights-of-user in the building are fully secured, under a 
Scheme of the Charity Commissioners. The Society will 
continue to pay to the Council an annual sum towards the 
maintenance of the Institution, and will have two repre- 
sentatives on the body which will manage the Building. 
The present Day-Schools will be eventually removed ; 
and we may hope that some of the space thus gained will 
be allotted to Museum purposes, for which additional room 
is very much needed. 
The membership of the Society is as follows :—
