duplicates of those already in the Museum, they 

 will be chiefly valuable for purposes of exchange. 

 Mr. W. Legrand; to whom the Society is indebted 

 for many additions to this department, is arranging 

 a complete series of Tasmanian land shells, inclu- 

 ding all those recently discovered by himself, and 

 it is his intention to present the collection when 

 completed to the Museum. 



The work necessary for the preservation of the 

 general collection, which requires much time and 

 care, has been carried out. Several alterations 

 have been made in various parts of the Museum 

 for the better disjDlay of the objects exhibited, and 

 the work of labelling is being proceeded with as 

 ojDportunities occur. Specimens have been sent 

 to the Museum of Magdalen College, Cambridge ; 

 and Brussels, from which places we shall doubtless 

 receive others in return. 



The number of visitors during the year was 

 8718.
