Captain A. Lovett Cameron has continued to give voluntary assistance, 

 and, by introducing a refinement into the processes of electrolysis hitherto 

 apphed, has successfully eHminated hard reduced incrustation from 

 objects treated. 



The Laboratory staff supervised the removal from Alnwick of the 

 Duke of Northumberland's collection of Egyptian Antiquities, now 

 deposited in the Museum on loan. 



Since the introduction of a fumigating chamber in the Department 

 of Ethnography, experiments have been carried out in the use of various 

 insecticides. Steps have also been taken to control the conditions of 

 humidity and temperature in storage rooms, and, in this connection, a 

 report suggesting modifications which may be necessary in the structure 

 of the Museum's film store is in preparation.
