presented 800 specimens of dried, mounted and named foreign 

 plants. Miss Ida Rooper, F.L.S., of Bristol, contributed 3 

 valuable collection of dried English plants, and Mr. E. H. Bellairs, 

 |.P., presented a number of interesting palaeolithic implements. 



An opportunity is offered of acquiring a singularly valuable 

 collection of Barton fossil shells, which would prove of great local 

 and general scientific interest. If an appeal is made with this 

 object in view the Council asks for the warm support of all members 

 of the community, as not only is the collection of great interest to 

 Bournemouth, but it would establish the coming Museum as of 

 special importance to the scientific world. 



The Council tender their best thanks to the various Lecturers 

 and Conductors of Excursions for their valued services, which have 

 so materially contributed to the success of the Society's efforts 

 during the past }'ear.
