READ AT THE ANNIVERSARY MEETING, 



April 6th, 1877. 



lu presenting the annual report, the Council congratu- 

 late the Members on the continued prosperity of the 

 Society. 



Some valuable additions have been made to .the Museum 

 and Library, by donation and purchase, during the past 

 year. 



The Geological Curators find great difficulty, for want of 

 room, in arranging the collection of Organic Remains ; a 

 small but judicious annual outlay in specimens and cabinets, 

 when required, with the aid also of friendly donations, 

 will soon make the entire Geological collection most 

 valuable and instructive, and one of the best out of London. 

 At present the collections of Natural History and Geology 

 form a good educational medium for all classes, and it is 

 of the utmost importance to maintain and increase its 

 efficiency.
