We have great pleisure in announcing that the presi-

this instance from a rule which, we understand, has
hitherto been rigidly adhered to—have consented to
allow a selection from the diploma works of deceased
academicians to be forwarded to the exhibition. The
"diploma pictures" are works presented to the academy
by artists, upon election to the full dignity of R yel
Academician.

The contributions to the general museum of art, under
the superintendence of Mr. Waring, continue to be in
every way most satisfactory.
The committee have determined to allot a certain
portion of the exhibition building for a collection of
photographs ; and they have entrusted the selection of
specimens to Mr. Philip H. Delamutte, piofessor at
King's College, London.
