In 1804 this number of possible admissions was increased to 76, but in 1808 the syetem of tickets was abolished. To sccredited students, however, the museum authorities were always more generɔas The muscoin, as has been shown, really opened as a library of some 50,000valumes; by 1821 this number, was barely more thau doubled, reaching 176,000; in 1638 there wero 235,000; in 1858550,000; and by 1604 there were a million and a quaiter.

This number rapidly increased, until in the 'Bfties some stability was attained at a number of about 80,000. The numbers steadily declined, owing to the additions facilities afforded by the multiplication of libraries; but since 1880 they have been again increasing, until in 1902 they reached a total of 211,244, rising to 296,323 in 1904, but falling last year, presumably owing to the partial closing of the reading- room to 137,682.-

The following are some of the most re- markable additions made to the collection

of the museum :-

1302. The Egyptian antiquities from

Alexandria.

1805-15.-The Townley marbles.
