362 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. 



A list is appended of the various additions to the Society's 

 collection, among which the most prominent are : — 



The Entomological collections of Mr. Bold, presented by his 

 relatives. 



The Mineralogical collections of Dr. Charlton acquired by 

 purchase. 



A large and valuable collection of Minerals, Fossils, Polished 

 Marbles, and Rock Specimens presented by Norman Cookson, 

 Esquire. 



It will be seen also that there has been a steady, if not very 

 large, influx of miscellaneous specimens. 



Your Committee have now to congratulate the Society upon 

 the fact that the Chair of Biology, spoken of at our last meeting 

 as a possibility, is now an accomplished fact. The large use 

 which has been made during the three years of the collections 

 for teaching purposes will now be still further extended and 

 systematized. 



A few alterations in the list of Honorary Curators are, as will 

 be seen, rendered necessary by death vacancies, which it is pro- 

 posed by your Committee to fill as follows : — 



Geology and Mineralogy, add Mr. G. A. Lebour. 



Committee, add Mr. G. A. Lebour in place of Mr. R. B. 

 Bowman ; Mr. William Dinnir-g in place of Mr. John Hancock.
