been prepared, and are now ready for mounting, 

 while others are still in course of preparation. 



The large upper room has been fitted up, at a 

 cost of £40, with the cases removed from the old 

 Museum, and it is intended there to exhibit all 

 that relates to the Natural History and produc- 

 tions of Tasmania. This arrangement, which 

 will add greatly to the value of the institution, 

 and be a matter of especial interest to strangers 

 and visitors, will be carried out in as rapid and 

 efficient a manner as our means will admit of. 



The number of visitors during the year has 

 been 7045.
