MORTIMER : THE HISTORY OF THE DRIFFIELD MUSEUM. 
(12.) Mr. Robert Gatenb}^, of Bridlington, has obtained 
several hundreds of flint, stone, and bronze specimens, a few of 
which are very fine ones. He is still adding to the number. 
(13.) Mr. Samuel Chadwick, late of Malton, who emigrated 
to New Zealand in 1895, was a very energetic collector of both 
fossils and implements. His business occupation brought him 
frequently among the farm labourers and quarrymen in the rural 
districts. This gave him exceptional opportunities for obtaining 
a considerable quantity of specimens, and for a considerable time 
he was my most active rival. That Mr. Chadwick made good 
use of these facilities the contents of the Malton Museum give 
ample proof. This fine and large collection, gathered almost 
entirely from the neighbourhood, also is sufficient evidence of his 
energy and knowledge as a diligent collector. Besides those 
placed in the Malton Museum he supplied many specimens to 
the York Museum, and a few to other places. 
There were also a few minor collectors w^hose united labours 
have assisted to impoverish this neighbourhood. 
For the last few years almost the only local collectors I have 
had to compete with are Mr. Thomas Boynton, Bridlington Quay; 
Mr. Robert Gatenby, Old Bridlington ; and 1 may add Sir Tatton 
Sykes, Bart., of Sledmere. 
Collections from the Barrows. 
Hitherto I have only referred to the collections of specimens 
which have been obtained from the surface of the land, or other- 
wise accidentally found. 
In addition to these, four valuable collections of Ancient 
British and Anglo-Saxon relics have been obtained by excavating 
the barrows of this district. 
(1.) The late Lord Londesborough explored a great number 
of barrows in this neighbourhood during a period of ten years, 
ranging from 1842 to 1852, and the principal of the articles he 
then discovered were placed in his museum at Grimston. After 
his lordship's death, when the house and estate at Gi'imston
