 Johannesburg; and 



2. A series of Eock-specimens from the Main Eeef, "Witwaters- 

 rand Gold-fields, South Africa, presented by Dr. H. Exton, E.G.S. 



The Collections in the Museum are in good condition, and the 

 glazing and other protections of the drawers appear to answer their 

 purpose very well. As intimated at the close of the last Eeport of 

 the Committee, the glazing of the drawers in the Lower Museum 

 was continued in 1889, when 220 drawers, large and small, were 

 provided with covers at a cost of £5 4s. 5d. To complete the 

 glazing of the Inner Eoom of the Lower Museum there still remain 

 80 large drawers, at least twice the size of any of the others, to be 

 covered ; the Committee propose to devote a sum of about £5 to this 

 purpose during the year. The Inner Museum would then be glazed 

 throughout.
