REPORT OF THE 
Boman road from Eboracum to the south and west, which led 
from the shore of the river by Tanner-Bow to Micklegate. 
Some additions, which are specified in the list of donations, 
have been made to the coins and medals in the Society’s 
possession, and the valuable British and Saxon antiquities, pre¬ 
sented by the late Bev. E. W. Stillingfleet, have been re-arranged 
and more effectively displayed. 
Much interest has been excited by the researches which the 
Bev. W. Green well, M. A., has earned on in the tumuli on the 
Yorkshire Wolds. By careful examination and comparison of 
their contents he has been enabled to ascertain many particulars 
respecting the condition of the former inhabitants of this district, 
who have left no written memorial of themselves nor attracted 
the notice of historians. Mr. Greenwell kindly communicated 
the results of his labours in a lecture delivered to the Members 
of the Society, and has promised in the same way to put them 
in possession of the information which he may subsequently 
acquire. 
The Museum has been recently visited by Professor Hiibner, 
of Berlin, who has been entrusted by the Boyal Academy of 
Prussia, in conjunction with Mommsen and other eminent 
scholars, with the preparation of a complete collection of Latin 
inscriptions. He devoted two days to the examination and 
transcription of those preserved in the Hospitium, and made 
some valuable suggestions respecting their age and import. 
The Geological and Mixeralogical collections have re¬ 
ceived but few additions of sufficient importance to be specially 
noticed here. J. F. Walker, Esq., B. A., F. C. S., has presented 
a large series of fossils from the curious bed at Pot-ton in Bedford¬ 
shire, which he has referred to the Lower Greensand in a paper 
read before the British Association, and since published in the 
Annals and Magazine of Natural History. The same gentleman 
has also presented a very fine mass from the Lower Greensand of 
Atherfield, in the Isle of Wight, containing beautiful specimens 
of Gervillia anceps and Trigonia daedalea. A magnificent 
specimen of Haematite from near Whitehaven, has been presented 
by W. J. Clutton, Esq., of the Mount, and Mr. Bollans, of 
Petergate, has presented a large series of Lead and Copper Ores
