CURATOR'S REPORT. 



The work of the past year has been of a somewhat 

 varied character as no effort has been made in the collection 

 or preparation of any special branch or department of the 

 Museum. A quantity of material has, however, been 

 acquired, which will, in the course of another year, make 

 very attractive exhibits. In collecting expeditions to 

 Arenig, Cefn, and elsewhere, your Curator was successful in 

 obtaining valuable material, and in soliciting aid from 

 persons more or less interested in Natural History. 



We tender our sincere thanks to Messrs. R. J. Smith 

 (Aldford) and Jno. Roberts (Bala) for the interest taken in 

 the work of the Museum, both by the collecting of speci- 

 mens, and soliciting of help from others. Messrs. Chas. 

 OivDHAM and T. A. Coward (two of our Corresponding 

 Members), are constantly making valuable additions to the 

 Vertebrata, &c. Messrs. J. Arki,e and Geo. O. Day have 

 added considerably to the Lepidoptera, both in additional 

 species and in the renewal of old series. Mr. Alfred 

 Newstead has done good work in the Coleoptera and other 

 branches of Zoolog>^ ; his Kingsley Memorial Collection of 

 Coleoptera has been added to the permanent collection. The 

 work of your Curator has so frequently been brought before
