6. That if a new University Museum shall be established in Oxford, 

 and a library formed in connection with it, the Curators shall have power 

 to place the whole of this collection in suitable rooms to be provided 

 in such Museum ; but the library and the plates and engravings shall 

 in any case be under the entire control of the Curators, who may dispose 

 of the same in any way which they shall consider most conducive to 

 the study of Natural History within the University, as well as to the 

 use of the same in connection with the entomological collection. 



7. That in all the more important proceedings relative to the collection, 

 such as the framing new rules or regulations, the appointment of 

 Curators, and the disposition of duplicates or of the Library, the con- 

 currence of four at least of the Curators present at a meeting to be called 

 for any such purpose shall be requisite.

 and the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the 

 University of Oxford, of the other part, for declaring the 

 trusts of ;S 10,000 new £S per cent, annuities transferred 

 by Mrs. Hope to the University. 



N.B. — The recital of the indenture speaks of the indenture of 

 December 20, 1860, relating to the Hope Professor of Zoology, 

 and mentions Dr. Wellesley as one of the Hope Curators.

 transferred by the said Ellen Hope as aforesaid, one-third shall be paid 

 as a stipend to the Keeper of the Hope Collection of Engravings for the 

 time being, one-third to the Hope Professor of Zoology for the time being 

 in augmentation of his present income, and the remaining one-third shall 

 be paid to the Hope Curators or any two of them, and shall be applied, 

 as to one moiety, in keeping up and increasing the Hope Collection of 

 Portraits, and, as to the other moiety, in keeping up and increasing the 

 said entomological collection. 



9. The Hope Curators shall have absolute discretion as to the portraits 

 and specimens to be purchased in augmentation of the said collections 

 respectively ; but, in adding to the said entomological collection, they 

 shall have regard to the opinion of the Hope Professor of Zoology, and 

 shall not be bound to confine themselves to insects only, but may purchase 

 specimens of fishes, reptiles, and such other animals as he shall recommend 

 and the Curators shall consider to come within the scope of the Founder's 

 views.
