in the Birds of the district, and through whose instru- 

 mentality we have been able to make the most valuable 

 addition— from the Hon. Charles Wynne— of a Rough- 

 legged Buzzard {Beuteo vulgaris) ; and the valued services 

 of Mr. R. J. Smith, in procuring for us certain desiderata, 

 cannot be over-estimated. By purchase we have also been 

 fortunate in procuring a specimen of the L,ittle Gull {Larus 

 minuhis^ 



By purchase also our Geological series has been much 

 enriched by a notable collection of Fossil Footprints, from 

 Storeton, which makes our series one of the finest in the 

 country. Your Curator has also been pleased to add a slab 

 of Saurian Footprints and Tail Tracks, from a new locality 

 at Eddisbury. 



Six glazed cases, kindh' presented by Mr. J. D. 

 SiDDALL, have been fitted with a series of Geological 

 specimens, specially selected for teaching purposes, to be 

 loaned to institutions in the city ; and we are glad to say 

 they are now lodged at the Queen's School, where we hope 

 they will be of educational value and interest.
