Annual Eeport. 



The Council, in presenting their 76th Annual Report, have 

 pleasure in being able to again announce the continued pros- 

 perity of the Society. The number of gifts to the Museum and 

 Library show no diminution and have been sent by friends of 

 the Institution from almost every quarter of the world, plainly 

 proving the great interest maintained in the Society. 



It is with regret that the deaths of several valued members 

 have to be recorded. Mr. W. H. Tregellas is well-known to all 

 the readers of the Journal for the very valuable papers he from 

 time to time contributed. His very interesting sketch of the 

 old Truro Grammar School may be specially mentioned — a paper 

 much appreciated and read by a large number of persons besides 

 the members of the Society. He showed great personal interest 

 in the welfare of the Institution and never failed to visit it when 

 he came into Cornwall for his holidays. 



In Mr. Pengelly, F.R.S., the Society lost a very distin- 

 guished member, whose many contributions to the earlier 

 numbers of the Journal, added much to its value and interest. 



In Dr. Bundle wsiS lost one well-known to almost every 

 member of the Society, whose valuable assistance in re-arranging 

 many of the objects in the Natural History cases in the Museum, 

 and whose many gifts, greatly enhanced the value of the 

 collections. 



It is with great regret that the Society misses his familiar 

 face and voice in these rooms. 



Mr. H. Seymour Tremenheere might be said to have been 

 a life-long subscriber. He was always eager for the appearance 

 of the Journal in which he evinced the greatest interest.
