In the other departments of Natural History, 

 besides the presents appended to this Report, 

 several additions have been made by your Sub- 

 Curator, Mr. Denny. The hitherto unfinished 

 state of the large room in your Museum, intended 

 to be solely devoted to these subjects, has pre- 

 vented much progress being made in the classifi- 

 cation. Your Council have the pleasure to 

 report, tiiat they have made arrangements for the 

 entire completion of this room, and although 

 at a very considerable expense, yet on such 

 terms as will not press inconveniently upon the 

 Funds of the Society. In the Gallery has been 

 placed the collection of Antiquities and Works 

 of Art, including many interesting specimens 

 from the South Sea Islands, and from the 

 Esquimaux of Hudson's Bay. With these have 

 been deposited the two valuable Mummies, and 

 other relics of Egyptian art. 



Your Council also inform your Society, that, 

 at their request, one of your Secretaries* has 

 drawn up an account of the Mummy presented
