150 ANNTIAL MEETING. 



Constantine the Great, which were ploughed up in a field at 

 Pennance, Budock, in February, 1865, presented by Mr. J. D. 

 Mitchell of the Manor Office, Falmouth. A valuable collection 

 of minerals, rocks, and precipitates, with full details as to their 

 composition, presented by Mr. J. Osborne, who is also a liberal 

 donor of objects of scientific and antiquarian interest. A fine 

 collection of articles from the Malay Peninsula sent by Capt. J. 

 Roberts of the Silensing Mines, Pahang, supplements the 

 collection given by him last year. Dr. Richard Pearce of 

 Denver, Colorado, sends some fine specimens of wood tin and 

 tinstone from Durango, Mexico, one of which appears to be 

 unique in its formation. Mr. Howard Fox has presented a 

 collection of fossils from the Trevone neighbourhood. Mrs. 

 Sharp, of London, a frequent donor to the Museum, has sent a 

 box of interesting curios. Mr. J. D. Enys, our much esteemed 

 President, with his accustomed and apparently unbounded 

 liberality has presented a number of valuable scientific works to 

 the library, together with portraits of Professors Huxley and 

 Tyndall, and a number of interesting articles for the Museum. 

 He has further made the collection of meteorological instru- 

 ments much more complete, by his gift of the Jordan Sunshine 

 Recorder. 



The interest of the public in the Museum is well sustained, 

 and it is gratifying to be able to announce that a much larger 

 number of persons paid for admission than in any previous year. 

 This, however, may be partly accounted for by the Fisheries 

 Exhibition, which was held in the city in July and August, and 

 caused such an influx of strangers into the county.

 Department, with the following very gratifying results : —
