REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. 



the Committee consequently obtained from their architect, 

 Mr. F. W. Rich, a careful survey and report, from which it 

 appears that a sum of about ^2,500 is imperatively needed to 

 put the building and roof into such a state that the valuable 

 col!ections will be safe from the dangers to which they are at 

 present exposed. 



The Museum of Natural History contains most valuable 

 and interesting collections, which have been for more than 

 half-a-century used by very large numbers of people from all 

 parts of the Counties of Northumberland and Durham, and 

 the Committee feel that the condition of the building is a 

 matter which interests everyone who lives in these counties, 

 and they appeal confidently for the support of the general 

 public as well as of their own members. 



We subjoin a list of the donations v/hich have already been 

 promised privately towards the repairs.
