Museum. 

 Read a letter from Mrs. Denham, forwarding one of the balustrades of the old 

 London bridge. 

 A collection of snakes preserved in spirits was presented by W. Porteous, Esq. 



The Officiating Secretary regretted to inform the Meeting that the Society has been 

 deprived of the services of their Curator Dr. T. Thomson, on account of his being 

 ordered to proceed to the Upper Provinces. During the short time Dr. Thomson, 

 undertook the duties of Curator, he rearranged the specimens of natural history, &c. 

 in the Society's Rooms, and was of very material service in other departments of the 

 Museum.
