FORTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT, 



Of the Council to the Subscribers, 

 Read at the Anniversary Meeting, April i8th, 1880 



In 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 do- 

 nations, 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.
