 and their successors to be appointed from time to time as hereinafter

 either of them, then a new Curator or two new Curators, as the case 

 may be, shall be nominated by the surviving or other Curators ; such 

 nomination to be approved by the University in Convocation : and so

 be two other Curators in addition to the five official Curators.

 of the library ; l)ut, in the event of a Managmg Curator or Inspector being 

 appointed for the better custody and preservation of the said collection,

 such terms and such manner as they shall think proper ; but that this 

 power shall not extend to the disposing of any other specimens comprised 

 in the said collection. And, with a view to prevent any infected insect 

 being added to and injuring the said collection, no addition shall be made 

 thereto, unless previously approved of by the said Frederick William Hope 

 or some competent person under the authority of the Curators.
