Your Council have much pleasure in stating, that 

 they have made arrangements for securing Mr. Simp- 

 son's services as permanent Curator of the Museum. 



The Museum still continues to be an object of in- 

 terest to visitors, who on numerous occasions, have 

 expressed their satisfaction in having such a place of 

 instruction and amusement open to them, when they 

 were most at liberty to enjoy it. The amount received 

 from these admissions is £ J 1 . Many of the descriptive 

 labels having become obliterated, Mr. M. Simpson has 

 been much engaged in re-labelling, and has also been 

 able to add several hundreds of names to the catalogue, 

 chiefly of fossils of the oolitic series.
