MUSEUM REPORT. 
The principal additions to the Museum during the year has 
been in the Natural History Department. Substantial additions 
have been made to the local lists of the Marine Polyzoa, and 
Hydrozoa, and also to the land and fresh-water shells. Weare still 
deficient in many species of shells which are known to occur 
in our locality. I would respectfully suggest that the collection 
of shells for the Museum might be made a feature of our 
Evening Walks, and a record kept of the various species met 
with in the several localities visited. 
A few specimens only have been added to the Geological 
Collection. 
The collection of Minerals belonging to the late Sir PHILIP 
EGERTON, Bart., have been classified, and some of the most 
important specimens exposed to view. We are indebted for 
this work to Mr. W. F. Lowe. 
Contributions for the Museum have been received from 
the PrestpENT, Mr. A. O. WaLkER, Rev. H. G. BARNACLE, 
Dr. Hy. Tomas, Mr. RicHarpson, Mr. R. Witson, 
Mr. Sippatt, Mr. NewstTeap, &c.
