Archeology. —The Honorary Curators report that during 
the past year the Antiquarian Department lias made steady 
and satisfactory progress. Some valuable additions have been 
made to the Museum. Amongst them are a further donation 
by Mr. H. C. Barstow, one of our Vice-Presidents, of 41 Silver 
and 28 Copper Coins to the very valuable collection of Indian 
Coins presented by him two years ago. 
An interesting find occurred early in the year in a garden at 
Holgate of a large Roman Wine Bottle or Amphora, nearly 
4ft. in height. It is made of a cream-coloured clay, globular 
in shape, and with a tapering point at the base, the purpose 
of which, it is generally believed, was to enable the vessel to 
be set upright in the earth. Those who are interested in 
modern survival of extremely ancient forms, may like to note 
the curious fact that the soda-water bottle of the present day 
retains, for a very different reason, the ancient feature of a 
pointed base.
