Compared with the last few years but little work has been done 

 at the museum. The case of mammals, which was being destroyed 

 by mothB has been thoroughly overhauled and all traces of the in- 

 vaders exterminated, and when our birds have all received a similar 

 "going-over" the museum will present a much better appearance. 

 But this work is almost endless and it is to be hoped that the in- 

 coming Hon. Curator will be able to organize a strong museum 

 committee and give the whole collection a general and much 

 needed revision. 



The number of visitors to the museum shows a slight falling off 

 from last year, which is accounted for, probably, by the decrease of 

 American travel last summer. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Albert F. \Vinn, 



Hon. Curator. 



Report of the Librarian. 



Gentlemen : — On behalf of the library committee I am glad to 

 report that the books of your library have been more used by 

 members than they have for some years past. Not only have many 

 books been taken out, but the library itself has been more used for 

 purposes of reference than in former years. 



No meetings of the committee have been called, as the work of 

 arranging and cataloguing cannot be proceeded with on account of 

 the large number of volumes waiting for the binder. The number 

 requiring binding now exceeds 200.
