At a Sub-Committee on the Buildings. 

 October 19th, 1857. 



Read, 



Report of the Principal Librarian, dated the 

 8th inst., announcing the arrival of antiquities 

 from Budrum and Carthage, as well as the tem- 

 porary arrangement of some of them, and the 

 further increase of antiquities that may be ex- 

 pected from the same quarters. The Principal 

 Librarian urged the Trustees to take into consi- 

 deration the want of space for displaying the 

 Museum collections, and the question how space 

 is to be provided. 



Ordered, 



That the Principal Librarian do furnish this 

 Sub-Committee with detailed information and 

 explanations on the following points : — 



1. A statement of the space allotted to the dif- 

 ferent departments at present. 



2. Of the deficiency of space complained of in 

 any department. 



3. Whether any limitation can properly be put 

 on any of the collections ; and if so, 



4. The amount of accommodation likely to be 

 obtained by such limitation. 



5. Supposing sufficient room cannot thus be 

 obtained, then in what way would it best be pro- 

 cured ?
