typical "Monarch of the Glen." The carrying out of 

 this interesting piece of work has been entrusted to 

 Messrs. Rowland Ward & Co., of London, and a 

 result may be looked for which will be instructive as 

 regards the forms of life of a more or less local character, 

 and one which will give a vast amount of pleasure to 

 those who have few if any opportunities of studying 

 Nature in her own domain. 



Bn HovisorE Committee. 



The Committee have for some time had under 

 consideration the question of associating with themselves 

 a small Advisory Committee, to assist them in special 

 matters, in the way that is indicated by the designation 

 employed. They have found that it is the almost 

 universal practice in the management of large Municipal 

 Museums, to adopt some such plan as this, and they 

 believe that by acting in conformity with the custom 

 elsewhere, they will increase the interest felt in the 

 Museum, will secure its benefit in many ways, and will 

 strengthen the hands both of themselves and the Curator. 

 A number of gentlemen in the City, well-known as 

 authorities in different departments have expressed their 

 hearty approval of this step, and have offered to render 

 in this advisory capacity all the assistance in their power. 

 The following are the names of the gentlemen whom 

 the Committee have thus associated with themselves, and 

 a perusal of the present and past reports will show that 

 theyhave already manifested great interest in the Museum, 

 and have rendered valuable practical assistance : — 



Professor C. Lloyd Morgan, F.R.S. 



Professor S. H. Reynolds, M.A., F.G.S. 



Mr. Alfred E. Hudd, F.E.S., F.S.A. 



Mr. John E. Pritchard, F.S.A. 



Mr. G. C. Griffiths, F.Z.S., F.E.S.
