the balance due to the publishers of £12 18s. 2d.; on the other hand there

Museum. 
The number of names entered in the Visitors’ Book during the year is 
19,000 (week-days, 10,000; Sundays, 9,000) but, as mentioned in previous 
reports, this gives no adequate idea of the number of persons visiting the 
institution, as comparatively few care to sign the register. The usual 
average daily attendance is about fifty on week-days, and 150 on Sundays. 
Natural History Collections, 
The additions to this section have been somewhat extensive ; but the

provided,
