proved to be an unqualified success, and not the least advantage is that 
it permits of the periodical rearrangement of the collection, which is so 
essential. This emphasises the necessity, often urged by the Committee, 
that prints should, whenever possible, be sent unmounted. The direc- 
tions sent by the donors with regard to mounting are strictly adhered 
to, and if donors wish to mount their own prints the standard cards will 
always be sent them for the purpose.

A scheme for the rearrangement of the collection according to 
counties and a catalogue similarly arranged have been drawn up. This 
system seems the best under the circumstances, and it is hoped that the
