We regret that it has not been possible yet to proceed further 
with the proposal to build a Public Museum of Natural History. 
Very little interest in the scheme has been shown outside the 
members of the Club, and this, together with the fact that the 
donations promised are not yet sufficient to make it wise to 
commence building, have caused the scheme to remain for a 
time in abeyance.* 
The following publications have been received from the So- 
cieties with which we are in correspondence. 
56th Annual Report and Transactions of the Nottingham 
Naturalists’ Society, 1907-08; Epsom College Natural History 
Society, Report for year ending Christmas, 1908; Transactions

of South London Entomological and Natural History Society, 
1908-09; The North Staffordshire Field Club Annual Report
