" That the specimens composing the museum of this Society be 
removed to the apartments of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary 
Society, and that they be kept there as a separate collection, and 
remain the property of the West Riding Geological and Polytechnic 
Society, and be reclaimable at pleasure, on due notice, and tliat the 
following gentlemen be requested to carry the foregoing resolution 
into effect, and that they be appointed a committee to make the 
needful arrangements, viz., Mr. Briggs, Mr. Holt, Mr. Morton, Mr. J. 
G. Marshall, ]\Ir. Embleton, Mr. J. W. Leather, Mr. Teale, and ]\Ir. 
Thos. Wilson." 
At a meeting of the joint sub-committees of the two societies, 
held on the 4tli ]\Iarch, 1844, Mr. J. G. Marshall in the chair, it was 
resolved after the confirmation of the previous minutes, 
" That the room now occupied as the Antiquities Room be appro- 
priated for the museum of the Geological and Polytechnic Society, 
except that the mummy shall remain in its present position. 
That in order to meet the outlay attendant upon the removal of 
the specimens from the Antiquities Room, and providing suitable 
accommodation for them elsewhere, the Geological and Polytechnic 
Society shall contribute the sum of fifteen pounds towards the expense. 
That, in order to diminish such expenses, a temporary inter- 
change of such cases as may be suitable is advised." 
At the annual meeting of the Society, held on the 18th Decem- 
ber following, it was reported that the museum had been transferred 
to the apartments set apart at the Philosophical and Literary Society 
at Leeds. ^lessrs. T . W. Embleton and J. Garth Marshall were 
appointed honorary curators, and the hope expressed that the geo- 
logical collection of the two societies would be more interesting and 
beneficial now they were in a sense combined, than either would have 
been separately.
