Several valuable Donations have been given to 

 the Museum, as in past years : Among these we 

 may specify the following : 



William Usherwood, Junr. Esq. has presented a 

 very fine specimen of the Head of the Moose Deer, 

 from Canada. 



Mrs. George Clark, has given a large assortment 

 of recent shells, and other valuable articles in 

 Natural History ; including 290 British Shells, and 

 30 Foreign ; with 2 specimens of Echinus, and one 

 of Spatangus ; and two bottles, containing preserved 

 Snakes and Lizards. 



Mr Martin Simpson, has given Donations to a 

 large amount ; viz. 73 Lias Fossils, including a rare 

 Plant from the Jet-rock ; 3 Plants from the lower 

 Sandstone-rock ; 8 Crustacea, 100 British Shells, 

 2 specimens of Echinus, 2 of Asterias, 11 of 

 Corallines, and about 100 British Insects. 



To this gentleman the Society is also much 

 indebted for his assiduous and valuable labours in 

 arranging and marking our collection of Recent 

 Shells, which now present a highly interesting ap- 

 pearance. Mr. Simpson is proceeding to bestow the 

 same patient and persevering '^attention on the 

 arrangement of our other specimens in Natural 

 History ; so that we may hope ere long, to see the 

 same improvements introduced throughout the 

 whole. 



The value of our Society appears to advantage.
