ANNUAL MEETING. 63 



Mrs. Perrin, of Mawgan, has given a beautiful series of 

 MoUusca from the OoHte, Lias, Gault, Barton Clay, and various 

 other deposits, also a fine collection of Sponges, Echinoderms, 

 Corals, and Palatal Teeth, for the most part from the Jurassic 

 System, and a number of the rarer recent British Molluscaj 

 collected by her husband, the late Pev. Q-. Perrin. 



A Silver Medal of much interest — gained at the Truro 

 Grrammar School by Gr. G. Badco(;k in 1790 — has been presented by 

 Mr. S. H. Budd, formerly of Puanlanihorne (through Mr, W. 

 Kerby). 



Mr. John D. Enys, F.G.S., has added to his many former 

 gifts, by presenting a number of Cornish Birds and Birds' Eggs 

 to replace inferior specimens ; also autograph letters of 

 Commandant Joubert, Dr. Leyds, and T. W. Peitz, officers of the 

 late Transvaal Government. 



From Mr. T. B. Bolitho comes a nice collection of Butterflies, 

 Moths and Beetles, which include many rare British species. 



Mr. J. Sydney Davey, of Bochym, has presented the 

 fragments of a Cinerary Urn, dug up in a field near his residence. 



The thanks of the Society are due to the Smithsonian 

 Institution and other learned societies, for valuable contributions 

 to the library ; also to Mr. John D. Enys and Canon Moor for 

 having again presented a number of books. 



In addition to the routine work necessary for the care and 

 preservation of exhibits, much work has been done in the 

 Museum in other directions. 



The whole of the very valuable collection of minerals, 

 presented by Mr. J. C. Williams, has been carefully gone through, 

 cleaned, and classified according to the great mineral groups. It 

 is hoped that during the coming year more space will be available 

 for this collection, when each specimen will be properly mounted, 

 and a special label attached giving particulars of its chemical, 

 physical, and other properties. 



A start has been made towards the formation of a type 

 collection to illustrate the Fauna of Cornwall. Professor Clark 

 has been of great help in this direction, having, as already stated, 

 presented a number of rare and interesting objects. He has also 

 offered to contribute notes on the Natural History of Cornwall 

 for publication in the Journal,
