 of a varied and interesting character. By means of the 

 extra grant ah-eady referred to, many alterations have been 

 made, which vrill secure a much more effective display for 

 the specimens. 



For re-labelling and arranging a great part of the

 are due to Mr. E. D. Swan, who has devoted a very great 

 amount of time and trouble to this much needed work. 

 The Society is under additional obligation to Mr. Swan 

 for the valuable services which he has rendered in various 

 other directions during the past two months.
