From the Bankfield Museum, Halifax, we have received No. 1 of the 
Second Series of Museum Notes (33 pp., 1/-). [tis a well illustrated paper 
on ‘ Oriental Steelyards and Bismars,’ and is by the Honorary Curator, 
Mr. H. Ling Roth. The paper is reprinted from the Journal of the Royal 
Anthropological Institute, which is much larger in size than the octavo 
publication already issued from the Halifax Museum, and makes the 
question of binding these useful publications a difficult one. 
The Doncaster Museum has issued a penny ‘ Catalogue of Antiquities, 
comprising the Stone and Bronze ages, the Roman, Saxon, Medizval and 
Later Periods Section.’ It contains 16 pages, enumerates Over 500 
specimens and has been compiled by the Curator, Mr. E. C. Senior, and 
the ‘ first edition ’ was issued in January. We are delighted to find this 
evidence of some attention being paid to the interesting collection at 
Doncaster, as we had rather got the impression—rightly or wrongly— 
that the Museum portion of Beechfield was being neglected. The cata- 
logue is a useful publication and we should like to see it followed by a 
list of the geological specimens, which, in view of the developments 
being made in connection with coal-mining at Doncaster, should prove 
of exceptional value and interest.
