on oiir list as one of its principal executive officers. On tlie 
death of his father-in-law, the late Eev. C. "Wellbeloved, he 
succeeded to the Curatorship of the Antiquities in this Museum, 
with which department his labours were more intimately asso¬ 
ciated during the last sixteen years of his life. Apart from 
this Society the name of Mr. Kenrick was well-known, and 
took high rank in the world of literature. In 1850 he pub¬ 
lished in 2 vols., The History of Antient Egypt under the 
Pharaohs;” and in 1855 a History of ‘‘Antient Phoenicia.” 
During his long residence in York, Mr. Kenrick was an active 
promoter of those Societies founded in our city which have for 
their object to promote learning or to alleviate suffering; and 
his loss is deeply mourned. He died at York on May 7th last 
in the 90th year of his age. In his will Mr. Kenrick remem¬ 
bered the Society with which his name had been so intimately 
associated, and a bequest contained in it has been the means of 
adding to the Society’s Library a valuable series of books, a 
list of which will be published in this Peport. 
Mr. Thomas Grott, of Knaresbro’, one of the Honorary 
Members of the Society, has also died dming the past year. 
Mr. Gott will be remembered as a gentleman who took much 
interest in our Museum, and, on more than one occasion, 
presented to the Antiquarian department several very valuable 
objects of Eoman Antiquity.
