The collection made in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) by Hugh Nevill (1847-97) was divided between two sequences: 1898,0702.1 to 197 (religious objects, which were entered in the Antiquities Register); and 1898,0703.1 to 1719 (ethnographic objects - many have As prefixes added later). The two collections were purchased together in 1898 for £150 from his son, Ralph Nevill.

NB There is a separate sequence As1898,0702.1 to 95. This is of Siberian objects, given by H H Howorth, and has nothing to do with the Nevill collection.

Hugh Nevill（1847-97）在锡兰（斯里兰卡）收集的藏品分为两个编号序列：1898,0702.1 至 197（宗教物品，登录于古物登记册）；以及 1898,0703.1 至 1719（民族学物品——其中许多后来添加了 As 前缀）。这两批藏品于 1898 年以 150 英镑从其子 Ralph Nevill 处一同购得。

注意：另有一个独立的序列 As1898,0702.1 至 95，为 H H Howorth 捐赠的西伯利亚物品，与 Nevill 藏品无关。
