minerals, which have been during the past year fully displayed in the 

 cases, and named according to the latest views. 



It will be thus seen that those parts of the collection which are still 

 deficient include chiefly objects which, requiring to be preserved as 

 wet preparations, entail a necessary yearly outlay, which your Council 

 does not at present deem advisable the Society should undertake. The 

 rarer species will be almost all found in the collection, and when the 

 funds permit a larger outlay of money, the Museimi can be easily made 

 almost perfect. 



On the motion of the Chairman, the Eeport was imanimously 

 adopted. 



The Treasurer next submitted his Eeport, which showed that the 

 total receipts to the credit of the account current was £64 10«. Id.j 

 against which the expenditure has been £70 2«. 11^., lea\'ing a balance 

 of £5 lis. 4.d. due to the Treasurer. He also reported that there were 

 £79 to the credit of the reserve fund, which was an increase of £21 

 since the previous session, and that subscriptions to the amount of 

 £28 were due by members.
