lection and other collections from Malaysia; in Halls 41, 42, 43

ARCHAEOLOGY. 
North Court. 
EUROPEAN ARCHAEOLOGY. 
The central floor space and many of the alcoves of this court 
are devoted principally to Eiu*opean archaeology. 
Cases i, 6 and 7. — Contain the Johnson collection of repro- 
ductions of Irish antiquities, consisting of crosses, croziers, 
shrines, bells, harps, drinking-horns, vases, and personal orna- 
ments. This is j ustly regarded as a most remarkable and inter- 
esting collection — the reproductions having been made with 
the utmost care. 
Cases 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, and 24. — 
Contain many Roman antiquities, a large part of the bronzes 
being reproductions from the originals now preserved in the 
Naples Museum. Of the reproductions, special attention may 
be called to the tables, braziers, chairs, etc., installed on pedes- 
tals in the court and alcoves. These collections were asembled 
by President E. E. Ayer during the years 1894, 1895 and 1896. 
Cases 3 and 4. — Contain nearly two hundred examples 
of the exquisite glassware of the ancient Mediterranean nations. 
Much of the great number are credited to the Romans, whose 
influence and art extended over so many widely separated reg- 
ions, but it is believed that a limited number of specimens are 
Phoenician. The uses were largely those of the toilet. The 
forms and sizes are varied, and the color is in many cases at- 
tractive and brilliant.
