TWENTY-SECOND REPORT. 



The Twenty-second year of the Whitby Literary 

 and Philosophical Society has not been signalized 

 by any remarkable transaction or event. The 

 Institution has maintained its ground, and its 

 progress, though not rapid, has been steady and 

 encouraging. 



The additions made to the valuable collections 

 in the Museum, have been chiefly derived, as in 

 past years, from the liberality of our friends. 

 The handsome donations of Dr. Foster, received 

 some time after our last anniversary, were referred 

 to in a note in last year's Report ; as was also the 

 splendid volume presented by Thomas Chapman, 

 Esq., F. R. S., F. S. A. In addition to the articles 

 inserted in the list for that year, as presented by 

 Dr. Foster, he has since forwarded a Bow and 

 Arrows, used by the Indians of Demerara; as 

 also, a Bow and Arrows from the Feejee Islands. 

 A beautiful model of a Canoe, richly carved, 

 manufactured in New Zealand, has been presented 

 by Robert Barry, Esq. 



The Earl of JNlulgrave, whom we have the 

 honour to receive at this time as a new member
