to the Society, and also having regard to the future pros- 

 pects of the Society, and to the fact that a Local Museum 

 on a large scale is now in the course of formation in 

 Brighton, recommend that the Society discontinue to 

 receive donations of specimens, and that such specimens 

 as the Society now possesses be either transferred to the 

 Town Museum, or returned to the contributors, as may 

 be respectively desired by the several contributors. 



In concluding their Report, your Committee would 

 again request the members to endeavour to promote the 

 prosperity of the Society, both by bringing its merits 

 under the notice of their friends, and also by contributing 

 or lending duiilicate copies of books bearing directly or 

 indirectly upon the subject of Natural History.
