CABINETS OF BIRDS AND INSECTS. 



Your committee on birds and insects find but two entries which 

 come strictly under their jurisdiction. 



Geo, E. Brown, Dedham, presented an ornamental case of stuff- 

 ed birds and animals, which reflect much credit on the skill and 

 taste of the exhibitor, and to whom we recommend the 2d pre- 

 mium of 63. 



There was but one entry of insects, and these were evidently 

 not of a recent collection, as many of the specimens were much 

 faded and injured by exposure to light and atmospheric influences. 

 To the exhibitor, Mr, F, F. Brown, Dedham, we award the 3d 

 premium of $1. 



The rules of the society require that all entries made in this 

 department shall be properly arranged and classified, and it is 

 hoped that in future this rule will be more strictly observed by 

 competitors. 



To Mr, Charles Mansfield, Wellesley, who exhibited a collection 

 of about 50 birds' eggs, each of a dirferent name and variety, your 

 committee would recommend a gratuity of Si. Your committee 

 are pleased to find this year a novelty presented for their 

 notice in the way of a swarm of bees in working condition, con- 

 fined in a. hive of glass and black walnut, so arranged that it 

 may be kept in the house as a parlor ornament ; a constant source 

 of entertiiinment and instruction, aside from pecuniary considera- 

 tions. We award to the exhibitor, Mr. Charles F. Holt, Hyde 

 Park, a gratuity of S2.
