But in 1884 Mr. Howarth, at the request of several gentlemen interested in the matter, attended the annual meet ing of the Library Association in Dublin, where he proposed that the Association should extend its sphere so as to include Museums in its organisation. Although this proposal was at the time favourably received, the Council of the Library Association afterwards decided that it was not desirable further to extend the area of their Association and the scheme therefore fell through. This, however, inzno way diminished the desire for some organisation whereby means of communication among Museums could be established the desire, indeed, became increasingly earnest, and it was felt that if some powerful Scientific Institution in the country would take the preliminary steps, the feeling among the more devoted workers in Museums was so strong as to leave little doubt of successful results.

This duty was most efficiently undertaken by the York shire Philosophical Society, and any one at all acquainted with the difficulty of organising a new Association will fully realise the value of the work the Yorkshire Philosophical Society has done.
