Geological collection has all been gone through and named by Mr. J. W. 

 Carr, M.A., to whom my warmest personal thanks are due for much help 

 and advice. Specimens wanted to complete a typical Palaeontological 

 collection have been purchased by the Committee, and the re-arrangement 

 is being pushed on as rapidly as possible. My best efforts shall be given 

 to its early completion. 



The usual tables will be found appended to this Report, to which I 

 beg to refer all those who wish for more detailed information. 



It only remains for me to express my entire satisfaction with the 

 way in which the various members of the Staff discharge their duties. 

 No Institution could be better served. Of those who have been long 

 in your service, I need only say that their zeal and fidelity are undiminished, 

 and those more recently appointed are no less satisfactory. I desire again 

 to recognise the valuable help given to the Institution by the entire Press 

 of the town, and to once more express my own personal obligations to the 

 Chairman and every member of the Committee for the ready help and 

 co-operation I have always received in every department of my work. 



I remain, Gentlemen, 



Obediently yours, 



W. CROWTHER, 



Librarian and Curator. 

 November 2nd, 1891.
