Archaeology. —The Curators report that the chief additions 
to the Antiquarian Department have consisted of a donation 
by Dr. Tempest Anderson (1) of a very fine and representative 
series of the current gold, silver and copper coinages of the 
United States of America, Mexico, Venezuela, Guatemala and 
Panama, made by him during his recent visit to Central 
America. (2) A XXVIth Dynasty painted and inscribed 
Egyptian Coffin, together with a few boards of a Xllth Dynasty 
sarcophagus, pottery, beads, alabaster jars, scarabs, etc., 
presented by Professor Flinders Petrie on behalf of the British 
School of Archaeology in Egypt. (3) A collection of Egyptian 
scarabs, beads, ear-rings, figures of gods, etc., presented by 
Miss Crawhall, of Scarborough. 
They have pleasure in reporting also that the whole of the 
Tradesmen’s Halfpenny Tokens of the XVIIth and XVIIIth 
centuries have now been examined and arranged; the authori¬ 
ties followed have been Atkin’s almost classic work for the 
latter, while Boyne’s has been used for the former. A ticket 
or label has been placed beneath each specimen denoting the 
county, city or town, and the index number of the above 
authorities, together with a note of explanation occasionally. 
It may, perhaps, be here remarked that this is the first time 
in the history of the Society that these tokens have been 
collected together and arranged.
