After this, no more was heard of the gold medal 
scheme. 
Two additional methods of fostering a taste for 
Zoological science in Dublin were proposed in the 
Report of Council for 1834-5:— 
1. ‘‘The delivery of a simple and well-arranged 
course of lectures by one or several Lecturers.” 
2. “The gradual formation of a Museum.” 
Doctors JAcos, Houston, and Harr undertook the 
task of delivering the Lectures; but the projected 
Museum never came into existence. 
In the year 1837-8 a well-arranged course of Lec- 
tures was delivered, and was used not merely to 
instruct the public, but to bring in substantial aid in 
money to the Gardens. The gross receipts amounted 
to £183 7s. 6d., and the expenses to £59 10s. 6d., 
leaving a substantial balance of £123 17s. Od. to aid 
the exhausted resources of the Society. The Lecturers 
who secured this advantage to the Society were:— 
1. Sm Puivre Crampron on “Comparative 
Anatomy.” 
. Dr. Hans Irvine on “ Dogs.” 
Dr. ScouLeR on “ Reptiles.” 
Dr. Harrison on “ Shells.” 
bn , on “ Feathers,” 
Dr. Houston on ‘‘The Horse.” 
Dr. R. Batt on “ Birds.” 
Dr. Corrigan on “ Circulation of the Blood.” 
. Mr. Isaac Burt on “ Zoology and Civilisation.” 
10. Dr. Evory Kennepy on “ The Different Races 
of Man.” |
