sometime ago taken from the strata for the Museum 

 by Mr. Martin Simpson, and judging from the 

 singular excellence and variety of the specimens, we 

 should despah', so to speak, of seeing them replaced 

 by a similar set, except by one whose knowledge 

 of the fossiliferous beds was equal to his own. 

 The last year's Lectures were the following; — 



Mr. Martin Simpson, — "On College Education in 

 connection with Dr, Young and Edinburgh." — 

 November. 



The Rev. W. Keane, A.M.— " On the Primitive 

 Religions of the East." — December. 



The Rev. G. Smales,— '*On the Mythology of the 

 Maoris." — January. 



Mr. Chiesman, — '^Education in former days." — 

 March. 



The Rev. W. Hewson, A.M. — ''On the Argon- 

 auts." — April. 



The admission money for the last year is £9, 



The donations to the Museum will be found on a 

 further page ; and an abstract of the Treasurer's 

 account on the last.
