Saturdays 2,600, on evenings of Somerville course, 350, 

 and ordinary, 209, the Saturday attendance being double 

 that of previous years, but the ordinary visitors were 

 only half of other years, due largely to restricted American 

 travel. 



Our President, Dr. Wesley Mills, has given much time 

 and labour to the work of the Society, and through his 

 efforts papers have never been wanting at the Society's 

 meetings. 



The whole respectfully submitted, 



Geo. Sumner, 



Chairman of Council.

Report of the Hon. Curator. 



Gentlemen, — During the past season a number of 

 valuable donations have been made to the Society, duly 

 reported at the monthly meetings, and acknowledged. 



Considerable work has been done at the Museum by 

 Mr. Winn, Mr. Williams and Mr. Dunlop, and the Super- 

 intendent, Mr. Griffin, has overhauled all the mammals, 

 clearing them of moths, but I would suggest that they be 

 re-arranged to show off to better advantage. 



b The monkeys and marsupials have been cleaned and 

 renamed and placed in a case on the landing. The British 

 birds have been properly named and placed in two cases 

 on the landing. All the birds have been carefully 

 inspected, properly arranged and a large number renamed 

 on fresh labels. The reptiles have been sorted out, 

 cleaned and named on fresh labels, and placed in two 

 cases on the lower flat. This work was creditably done 

 by Mr. Williams.
