Your Committee again wish particularly to call attention 
to the list of prizes for competition, In addition to the larger 
prizes, the Kingsley Memorial Committee has instituted a 
number of smaller prizes of a Guinea each, to stimulate our young 
collectors, who, whether they win or not, will be always the 
better for having some honest work in hand. Our Hon. 
Curator has drawn up a series of Hints to Collectors, which 
may be studied with profit, and which are printed on the last 
page of the circular of April 24, 1884. 
In the same circular you may see that your Committee 
have invited the co-operation of the Members of this Society, 
in the nomination of recipients for the Kingsley Memorial 
Medal, and if our Members will faithfully assist in this matter, 
it will add materially to the value of the Medal, as the dis- 
tinction will then be conferred by the Society as an expression 
of their opinion over and above the fulfilling the conditions of 
the Trust Deed. 
Your Committee has met twenty-one times during the past 
year, which, owing to the Museum Scheme, has been a year 
involving much extra work and consideration. 
It is hoped the Committee has done its best for the 
interest of the Society, and in all matters connected with the 
advancement of Natural Science in the district.
