Photographee, 



(Mr, H. Barnes, Junr.) 



We are now utilising in a very great measure our photographic 

 appliances for the production of the plates of the Museum publi- 

 cations. It may not be out of place to mention that nearly all 

 the negatives for the very fine illustrations of nests and eggs 

 adorning Mr. A. J. North's 'Catalogue of the Nest and Eggs of 

 Birds found breeding in Australia and Tasmania ' were prepared 

 either by Mr. North himself or by Mr. Barnes, in the field and 

 studio respectively. The Trustees are particulafly fortunate in 

 possessing as members of the staff no less than four accomplished 

 photographers, Messrs. T. Whitelegge, A. J. North, E. R. Waite, 

 and H. Barnes, Junr. The collection of negatives now amounts 

 to upwards of 1,945. 



Thirty-five prints were presented to the Trustees during 1901, 

 chiefly of an Ethnological nature. Many of these represented 

 scenes in Ocean and Pleasant Islands, taken and given by Mr. 

 F. Danvers Power. 



The following is a return of the work performed : — 



Aetificers (including Carpentry and Smith's-work). 



(Messrs. R. Barnes and B. Lucas.) 



A large amount of varied work was carried out in the Artificer's 

 workshop, both in wood and metal. 



Under Mr. R. Barnes' superintendence, the magnificent Chinese 

 Cheval-glass from Pekin, was safely erected, and now forms one 

 of our most attractive exhibits. 



Amongst some of the more important work may be mentioned : — 



1. Cabinet for a collection of Chinese coins. 



2. Fitting drawers of Numismatic table-cases with false bottoms, 



3. Four Card-catalogue cabinets.
