geological photographs, earth tremors, pollution of the au- of towns, 

 ethnographical surveys, erratic blocks, «&c. ; but as I was unable to be 

 present at this meeting, I would refer you to the Eeport published by 

 the Corresponding Societies Committee for an account of the discussion

Thos. Gushing. 



We should all, no doubt, be ready to echo Mr. Cushing's wish 

 that in the new municipal buildings now being erected space 

 could be found for a local and educational museum worthy of a 

 town of the size of Croydon. The reasons why Croydon has not 

 such a museum as many much smaller provincial towns have 

 are probably that, though au old town, its municipal life is but 

 young, and that proximity to London and the national museums 

 there renders the want of a local museum less felt. 



And now. Gentlemen, it only remains for me to thank you for 

 your kind support during my two years of office, and to bespeak 

 a continuance of the same for my successor who is so worthily to 

 occupy the Presidential chair.
