shortly be seen to far greater advantage, while the rooms 

 devoted to Natural History specimens will ever prove a source 

 of general interest, showing as it does the admirable work of 

 our zealous Curator. 



It is a matter of regret that there is a considerable deficit 

 in the Building Fund Account, and the Committee would 

 gratefully receive any contributions from the Members, who 

 would thus help to relieve the Hon. Treasurer and his Committee 

 from the great responsibility of debt. 



Another number of the "Proceedings" of the Society has 

 just been issued, which contains many valuable papers of 

 scientific interest. It is hoped that the Members will show 

 their appreciation of the publication by taking copies, and 

 recommending the work to the notice of their friends.
