Your Committee are of opinion that this portion of the collection 
at least should be pressed forward towards completion,—that the de- 
siderata, whatever they are, should be made extensively known; it 
is the part which experience has shown to be the most attractive and 
interesting both to foreigners and natives; it is the part most easily 
arranged, and the utility of which is the most apparent, and it is also 
that of which the deficiencies can be most readily supplied. 
It would be well to direct the Curator to make out a list of defi- 
ciencies to be printed in the Proceedings.

The Committee submit to the consideration of the Council whether 
it might not be expedient, till the value of mineralogical character is 
more clearly ascertained, to throw the whole of the non-fossilife- 
rous rocks into series No. 2; and whether, in order to afford more 
space for the display of the fossiliferous, it might not be advantageous 
to deposit the whole of series No. 2. in trays, according to the plan 
already acted upon, under the sanction of a committee, in reference 
to the specimens from South America ; by this expedient forty addi- 
tional drawers might be obtained for the fossiliferous beds.
