REPORT ON MUSEUM WORK xli 



by Blake and Turner," and exliihited a number of beautiful 

 examples of the work of both artists. 



Many parties of boys and girls from various schools have 

 visited the Museum usually accompanied by masters or 

 lady teachers. A few brief lessons have sometimes been 

 given by the latter, but the regular natural history teaching 

 formerly given by members of the Museum staff is not at 

 present possible. The schools represented have been the 

 Royal Grammar School, Rutherford College, Sandyford 

 School, and several ladies' schools. The Museum has also 

 been visited by parties of local Field Club members on several 

 occasions. 



In the difficulties under which we sometimes suffer from 

 the absence of our regular Curators we have again to express 

 our thanks to the College Professors, whose classes are con- 

 ducted under our roof, as well as to Mr. R. S. Bagnall, 

 Mr. G. B. Walsh, Dr. J. W. Heslop Harrison, and others, who 

 have always been so ready to give help and advice when 

 needed. In this connexion I must refer to the late Prof. 

 Lebour, whose cheery presence in the Museum is much 

 missed, and whose help in .matters geological was greatly 

 valued. 



As usual a list of Donations will be found on another page, 

 but it may be well to call special attention to a few of these. 

 Further instalments of Dr. Brady's extensive collections have 

 been received, and after being carefully examined, cleaned 

 and repacked, have been stored with the specimens previously 

 received, ready for future inspection. 



Dr. Eltringham of the Hope Department, Oxford University, 

 has presented the whole of the original drawings, made for his 

 work on African Mimetic Butterflies, on which he is the 

 recognised authority. 



Miss M. V. Lebour, D.Sc, has presented her line collection 

 of Foreign Shells, containing specimens from every quarter of 

 the world. These are contained in twenty-eight small cabinets
