I. — Arrangement. 



The outer study and the skylights of the work room have been painted. 



A new bookcase has been placed in the outer study, in which a portion of the Christy 

 Library has been deposited. 



The arrangement of the Anglo-Roman and Anglo-Saxon Rooms has been continued 

 and nearly completed. Great difficulties have been experienced in arranging these col- 

 lections ; partly owing to the great number of small objects, all requiring careful classi- 

 fication, mounting, and labelling ; partly from the nature of the wall-cases and table - 

 cases, the dimensions of which are different from those in which these antiquities were 

 formerly exhibited. Three additional jiortions of the pavement from Leadenhall-street 

 have been fixed to the wall, and the whole labelled. One thousand and sixty-six antiqui- 

 ties of iron have been cleaned and boiled in Avax to prevent decay, it being necessary to 

 make drawings of the Avhole to preserve the registration marks, which were apt to 

 disappear in the operation. Five hundred and thirty-six small antiquities have beeri 

 mounted on tablets in an uniform manner, of which four hundred and sixty-six have had 

 headings and localities painted on them. Twenty-seven large tablets have been prepared 

 for series of objects found together, in Roman or Anglo-Saxon discoveries, and which 

 have been mounted upon them. A pedestal and glass shade have been made for the 

 colossal bronze bust of Hadrian ; the bronze helmet from Ribchester has been put 

 together and mounted under a shade. Two silver Roman objects have been repaired, as 

 well as four Roman, and two Anglo-Saxon urns. Three glass bottles have been mounted 

 on stands. 



Sixty matrices of seals have been mounted with impressions at their sides. Thu-ty-six 

 pedestals for vases ha-ve been made. One hundred and twenty-seven specimens of Mexi- 

 can pottery have been repaired, and twenty-nine temporary labels written.
