Mr. John Michael Williams, Mr. Nicholas, and Mr. W. P. Cocks 

 and others as will be seen in the list of presents. 



The number of visitors to the Museum during the year has 

 been as follows : — 



Admitted free 4177 



„ by tickets 150 



„ by payment of 6d. each 116 



Total 4443 



These figures show that real good is being done by the Museum, 

 for although many of the visitors come simply to gratify an idle 

 curiosity they are sure to pick up new and valuable ideas while 

 going through the Collections. 



The Meteorological Observations have been recorded and 

 tabulated by Mr. Newcombe with much care. In addition to the 

 the returns heretofore made to the Eegistrar General, a bi-monthly 

 statement of results has been for some time furnished to the 

 Meteorological Office, for use at home and transmission to the 

 corresponding Department of the United States at Washington, 

 whence our Library has been supplied with their daily sheets. 

 The thermometers also have been turned to account for the inquiry 

 into the effects of shelter on surface temperature, the results of 

 which will appear in the next number of the Journal. 



At the Spring Meeting one of your Secretaries called particu- 

 lar attention to M. Moissenet's book on the Eich Parts of Lodes, 

 and the Council gladly embrace this first opportunity of express- 

 ing their recognition of the value of M. Moissenet's labours by 

 recommending the Society to elect him an Honorary Member. 

 The Council are glad to learn that Mr. J. H. Collins is making a 

 translation of the most important parts of M. Moissenet's work 

 which will appear in the next Annual Report of the Miners' 

 Association and thus become available to those who are not 

 acquainted with the French language. 



Though regretting the loss of Mr. F. V. Budge by removal 

 from Truro, the Council are glad to announce to the Society that 

 they have secured the services of Dr. Le Neve Foster and Mr. 

 J. H. Collins for Secretaries as colleagues of Mr. Whitley. The 

 Laboratory of the Royal Institution is now made use of by Mr. 

 Collins in his capacity as Public Analyst, and, no doubt, many 

 useful chemical investigations will be carried on there.
