Various specimens of Minerals and Articles of Domestic 

 Manufacture, from Otaheite and the Southern Islands, have 

 been forwarded by a valued friend of the Institution-Gene- 

 ral Miller. 



The Head of a New Zealand Chief, curiously tattooed, 

 (and for the tribe evidently of considerable beauty) has been 

 received from Captain George Deedes. 



The thanks of the Members are especially due to the 

 before-mentioned Donors as well as to Miss Sophia Frend, 

 for a valuable collection of Casts of the Coins from the 

 Greek Islands and Colonies, many of which attest the high 

 state of the fine arts of Antiquity, as compared with the 

 British Coins struck previously to the commencement of the 

 present century. 



A new season has now commenced, and the Directors and 

 Curators feel pleasure in assuring the Members of the InstU 

 tution, that judging both from the past and from the reiterated 

 promises of future support, a similar increase to the Collection 

 in Its onward course may reasonably be anticipated.
