of late, we have Dot been so successful in this respect 

 as at the outset, the object in view will not be for- 

 gotten. The Ribbon Fish lately procured, which was 

 cast ashore near Whitby, is pronounced, as a specimen, 

 to be a great rarity. It was rescued and preserved 

 by Mr. Kitching. 



This season, only three Lectures have been 

 delivered. One by the Rev. John Andrew, " On 

 New Zealand ;'* " On Natural History," by Mr. 

 Martin Simpson ; " The Physical Geography of New 

 Zealand," by the Rev. Gideon Smales. 



The visitors' admission money for the present 

 year amounts to ^9 10s.
