COUNCIL FOR I907. 
9 
members of your Council. The Journalists expressed them¬ 
selves as delighted with their visit and fully appreciated the 
attention shewn to them. 
Your Council recommends the election of Mr. George Yeld 
as a Vice-President in the place of Mr. J. F. Walker, and of 
Messrs. W. Johnson, C. K. Hitchcock, C. Wakefield, and 
H. J. Wilkinson, as new Members of Council for the next 
three years in the place of those retiring by rotation, and of 
Mr. H. C. Shann for one year in the place of Mr. G. Yeld. 
They have also appointed Dr. Solloway joint Curator of Archae¬ 
ology with Mr. Boynton and Mr. Wakefield, and the Rev. W. 
Johnson, Curator of Geology, in the place of the late Mr. J. 
F. Walker. 
The Council has decided, in view of the size of our Coin 
Collection and the importance of the subject, to constitute 
Numismatics a separate department of the Museum and no 
longer to treat it as simply a branch of Archaeology. They 
have appointed Mr. C. Wakefield Curator of the newly made 
department. His wide knowledge of the subject and his past 
services render him peculiarly fit for this position. 
The Society has lost 7 Members, 2 Lady Subscribers, by 
death; 25 Members, 4 Lady Subscribers, and 1 Associate 
by resignation ; 25 Members, 6 Lady Subscribers, have joined 
the Society during the year.
