tion of observing, that that department continues to send to the 

 Society, from time to time, their newly published charts. 



The Honourable Board of Directors of the East India Company 

 have also presented Charts of the East India Seas, to which Captain 

 Horsburgh has added his own Surveys. 



The collection of maps has also been considerably increased by 

 the donation of a portion of the Irish Ordnance Townland Survey, 

 comprising the county of Londonderry in 49 sheets, which has been 

 presented by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland through Col. Colby. 



The Committee cannot speak in loo high terms of the plan which, 

 under the direction of the President, has been adopted for arranging 

 and facilitating a reference to the Admiralty charts. The other charts 

 will be arranged in the same manner. The Committee recommend 

 that two similar cabinets be procured for the maps and drawings. 



The Committee cannot conclude their Report without again allu- 

 ding to the great inconvenience which is experienced from the want 

 of proper room to arrange the daily increasing number of the spe- 

 cimens, an inconvenience which is now the greater, from there not 

 being sufficient space left for the large casts which have lately been 

 received. 



The casts alluded to consist of — 1st, The 'bones of the Mega- 

 therium, brought to England from Buenos Ay res by Mr. Woodbine 

 Parish, and for which the Society are indebted to the Royal Col- 

 lege of Surgeons ; and 2ndly, The inferior maxillary bones of the 

 Mastodon and Tetracaulodon, presented by the American Philoso- 

 phical Society of Philadelphia.
