These results indicate steady growth, and prove the value of 

 systematic courses such as are provided by the Institution classes. 



During the present session 12 classes are being held, and are 

 very fairly intended. Numerous visits have been paid to the 

 mineral and geological collections by many of the students, who 

 have derived great benefit therefrom. 



The success of Reginald J. Grreenaway, one of the students, 

 is especially worthy of mention, he having earned no less than 

 7 certificates at the late examinations, viz. : 1 in the honours, 

 3 in the advanced, and 3 in the elementary stages. 



The meteorological observations have been recorded with 

 the accustomed regularity, and the results forwarded to the 

 Registrar-General, the Sanitary Committee of the Cornwall 

 County Council, and the local papers. The Jordan's Photo- 

 graphic Sunshine Recorder, presented to the Institution by our 

 President, Mr. J. D. Enys, as already stated, has enabled us to 

 make the series of observations taken by us more complete, and, 

 since it has been in position, it has been a source of great 

 interest to many of our members and friends. 



In the Museum, the work of arranging the minerals has 

 been continued. The fossils have been placed together in their 

 order of sequence, and a start has been made towards classifying 

 the fine collection of minerals presented by Mr. J. C. Williams, 

 M.P., last year. The collection of minerals and precipitates 

 from Rio Tinto, given by Mr. J. Osborne, P.Q-.S., of the Rio 

 Tinto Mines, which is of extreme value to the metallurgical 

 student, has been classified and arranged in a case by itself in 

 the geological room. In the other rooms the cases have been 

 cleaned, and their contents attended to, while some of them have 

 been painted, and made more fit for the display of the objects 

 placed in them A large number of the specimens have been 

 re-labelled, many of the old labels having become almost 

 illegible.
