The Curator reports that there is a falling off in the number of 

 specimens presented, but that most of them are valuable. 



The Library is in an efficient state ; eighteen new volumes have 

 been acquired by purchase, and twelve have been presented by a 

 member (Mr. R. Russell). It now contains about three hundred 

 volumes of standard modern works in science and literature, 

 exclusive of patent specifications, magazines, and periodicals. 

 The circulation of books has increased. 



Science Classes have been held during the Session, under the 

 direction of Mr. A. Freeman. The results of the work of these 

 Classes will not however be known till after the examinations next 

 month. 



In concluding this Report, the Committee desire to express 

 their thanks to the donors of gifts to the Museum and Librar)^, 

 and to the Lecturers who have so kindly given their services 

 during the past Session.
