 Society has on former occasions been highly

 Minerals, from Cornwall, by Mr. Watson; — a 

 number of skins of Birds and Quadrupeds, from 

 Sumatra and the Indian Archipelago, presented 



by Craufurd, Esq. through Mr. Edward 



Baines, jun. — A large number of very rare

 of Birds from Brazil, from Mr. J. W. Moore ;
