An extensive collection of Prehistoric Antiquities and Eth- 
nography, formed by the late Henry Christy, Esq., was 
presented to the Museum in 1866, and is temporarily de- 
posited at 103, Victoria Street, Westminster. It may be 
visited on Fridays from 10 to 4 o'clock, by tickets, issued in 
the Hall of the British Museum. It will probably be closed 
before the end of the year 1877, preparatory to removal to 
the British Museum.
