Dr. Lilljeborg's " Cladocera Sueciae," an elaborate work on 

 Entomostraca, containing some 80 plates, was most kindly 

 presented by a member who desires to be anonymous. The best 

 thanks of the Club are due, and hereby offered, to this gentleman 

 for his valuable gift ; also to Dr. Dallinger for a copy of the 

 8th edition of " Carpenter," and the other donors. A " Card 

 Catalogue " of the books is being prepared by the Librarian, who 

 hopes to complete it before very long. 



The Cabinet has received the most assiduous attention from the 

 Curator, who reports that over 1,000 slides have been issued 

 during the year. A classified catalogue of the zoological specimens, 

 some 1800 in number, has been drawn up, and this the Committee 

 considered advisable to print. As, however, it is double the size 

 of any of the previous lists, the selling price has been fixed 

 at one shilling, which only just covers the cost. Being based on 

 the lines of modern classification, it should be useful to many 

 beyond the mere purpose of showing what specimens are actually 

 in the Club's possession at the moment ; and your Committee trust 

 that an extensive sale of this catalogue will justify the rather 

 large outlay upon it. Some slight alteration has been made in 

 the conditions of loan of specimens, and this is printed inside the 

 cover of the new list. Altogether 412 slides have been added to 

 the collection since the last report, the most noteworthy being 

 Mr. Mottram's munificent donation of 300 " Hamilton Smith " 

 diatoms, and a further set of 54 slides of " type " Botifers from 

 Mr. Bousselet. The complete list is as follows : Mr. Dennis (6), 

 Mr. W. Harris (2), Mr. Miles (5), Mr. Mottram (300), 

 Mr. Nelson (1), Mr. Pound (4), Mr. Bousselet (54), Mr. Scour- 

 field (18), Mr. Sidwell (16), Mr. Wesche (6). Mr. Sidwell wishes 

 it to be made known that anatomical sections prepared by modern 

 methods, and slides illustrating pond life, are amongst the chief 

 desiderata. 



The Journal itself is the best testimony to the care and ability 

 bestowed upon it by the Editor. Comparison with some of the
