and two Roman stone coffins, found in the Castle Yard during 
the alterations made there in November, 1835, and lately 
transferred by the hberality of the County Magistrates from the 
Castle to the Museum. On one of these coffins is the following

in the prosperity of the Society, by the public authorities of 
the city and the county, the Council have made application

among the coeval sculptures of St. Mary's Abbey, and the 
Council have not despaired of exciting attention to their 
reasonable requests in other quarters. To complete the col¬ 
lection of sepulchral relics in the multangular tower, one or 
* Mr. W. C. Hewitson, (author of British Oology) during the time of his stay 
in York, gave able assistance as joint curator with Mr. Meynell.
