The Committee of the National Park, Wilson's Promontory, has 

 erected a cottage at Barry's Hill, for a second ranger, who was 

 appointed in December. A cottage for the accommodation of the 

 Committee and a rest-house for tourists were erected at the Derby 

 River. A rest-house was put up at the Beehives, and the pier, at 

 the same place, was moved to a better position. A track to Sealers' 

 Cove was marked by an officer of the Public Works Department, 

 and work on it will be begun. Several new animals were intro- 

 duced, and most appear to be doing well. 



The Librarian reports the addition of 1925 volumes and parts 

 during the year. A large number of copies of Brough Smythe's 

 "Australian Aborigines," Baron von Mueller's "Iconography of 

 the Acacias," and Neumayer's " Meteorological Observation," were 

 received from tlie Government Printer. The storage of this mate- 

 rial and of the Library is a more acute problem than ever, and the 

 question of additions to the building should be faced as soon as 

 possible.
