Muszrvum. 
No addition has been made to the Collections during the past 
year, but great progress was made with the work of glazing the 
drawers, no less than 814 being thus rendered fairly impervious to 
dust, at a total cost of £26 12s, lia: 
For the purpose of study and comparison the Collections were 
examined on 10 different occasions during the year, the contents of 
about 50 drawers being thus examined. 
The Rev. J. F. Blake was engaged on 46 days inthe summer and 
autumn in going through the Collections for the purposes of the 
Catalogue whick he has voluntarily undertaken to prepare. He 
was assisted on several occasions in the course of this investigation 
by Mr. W. P. D. Stebbing. The proposed Catalogue and other 
matters connected with the Museum are referred to more fully in 
the Council’s Annual Report.
