labour and time, but it is now approaching completion, and the 

 specimens will in the course of a few months, be properly arranged 

 and labelled. I shall be very glad when I am able to report the 

 Museum in as good order as the Library. 



I am glad to again bear testimony to the zeal and industry of 

 the staff. I have had no single case of complaint against any of them 

 since I took charge, and all their duties are discharged cheerfully 

 and willingly, and with due regard to the best interests of the 

 Institution. 



I append the usual tables, to which I beg to refer all who 

 wish for detailed information, and beg to remain, gentlemen, 



Your obedient Servant, 



W. CROWTHER, 



Librarian and Curator. 



October, 27th, 1887.
