CURATOR AND LIBRARIAN’S REPORT. 
Your Curator begs to submit his Report for the past year, 
ending 20th May, 1920. The number of additions to the 
Society’s Museum is 44 species and 127 specimens, all of which 
are by gift. For the donors names please see end of Report. 
The valuable and interesting collection of Geological 
specimens, which represents the life work of our late esteemed 
friend and co-worker, Mr. A. W. Lucas, F.G.S., has been added 
by gift, and is unarranged in a large cabinet in the Natural 
History Museum. This splendid collection—in the very near 
future—will, it is hoped, be arranged as far as possible in the 
natural order of deposition. Until the completion of the work, 
the collection is only of use for reference. 
Three new varieties, and a number of uncommon and com- 
mon species have been added to the collection of Lepidoptera. 
Sixty-seven Natural History Specimens have been lent to 
Teachers of private and public City Schools for teaching pur- 
poses.
