The Museum. 
The Museum of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society contains one of the best 
collections of Roman remains in the kingdom. These are for the most part 
housed in the hospitium, a separate building in the grounds, which was 
originally the old guest house of St. Mary's Abbey. In the main building 
there is an excellent geological collection, containing not only a first-rate 
series of Yorkshire fossils, but also many type specimens in the general 
collection. 
There is also a good collection of British Birds, including many rarities 
obtained in the county, together with two specimens of the now extinct 
Great Auk. 
The Allis collection of Lepidoptera is very complete, and contains some 
species now extinct in this county. The Hey collection of British Coleoptera 
is also very good. In the Grabham collection of British Mammals is a very 
fine series of varieties of the Mole. There is an excellent osteological 
collection, and many most valuable remains of prehistoric man, consisting 
of flints, bronzes, iron, cinerary urns, etc., many of them having been dug 
out from the graves of these ancient people scattered throughout the county. 
A good series of Danish remains is also exhibited, many of these having 
been dug up in York. 
A good collection of old Pottery and Glass is in the Society's possession, 
and is exhibited in the gallery of the Central Hall. 
There is also an interesting Ethnological Series.
