Dear Sir, or Madam, 
From time to time, for some years past, the Public 
Libraries Committee have received suggestions that a Museum 
should be established in Tottenham. 
An opportunity occurred during the present year for 
ecuring an excellent collection of Minerals and other 
eological specimens for a nominal sum, and at the same time an 
°fier was received from Mr. H. E. H. Smedley, F.L.S., F.G.S., 
to loan hls Museu “ Collection to Tottenham, and to give his 
services as Honorary Curator. 
After careful consideration the Public Libraries Committee 
hecided that such opportunities should not be lost, and they 
accordingly asked the Urban District Council to avail 
themselves of these offers, and to provide accommodation for 
the reception and exhibition of the specimens. The Council 
a °cepted the offers and allocated three rooms on the first 
tloor at "The Chestnuts," St. Ann’s Road, for the purpose. 
Further, the Council decided, as there are no funds at' 
P r esent available for the provision of suitable cases for the
