Donations to Museum Natural History Society. 199 
In conclusion allow me to thank you for the confidence which 
you have shown in me during my administration. I feel that 
there is still much to be accomplished, indeed, there is always 
work in a museum for willing hands to do; other duties would 
prevent me giving the time which this important office requires 
eyen were you disposed to re-elect me, and in assigning to others 
the work which for the past four years has given me so much 
pleasure, I desire to assure you of my continued interest in the 
progress of the museum, and that I will gladly assist in any 
measures calculated to increase its usefulness. 
Respectfully submitted 
J. STEVENSON BROWN.
