labour and time, but it is now approaching completion, and the 
specimens will in the course of a few months, be properly arranged 
and labelled. I shall be very glad when I am able to report the 
Museum in as good order as the Library. 
I am glad to again bear testimony to the zeal and industry of 
the staff. I have had no single case of complaiut against any of them 
since I took charge, and all their duties are discharged cheerfully 
and willingly, and with due regard to the best interests of the 
Institution. 
I append the usual tables, to which I beg to refer all who 
wish for detailed information, and beg to remain, gentlemen, 
Your obedient Servant, 
W. CROWTHER, 
LIBRARIAN AND CURATOR.
