Appciidir. 
I. To Mr. Win. Hellier Baily, £50, in aid of additional Explora- 
tions at Kiltorean, for Fossil Plants ; subject to the condition that the 
fossils discovered shall be at the disposal of the Council of the Academy. 
2 To Mr. G. H. Kinahan, £40, for Microscopic Examination of 
Igneous Rocks. 
3. To Professor M'Nab, £30, for Researches in Vegetable Physi- 
ology and Histology. 
It will be proposed to the Academy to allocate the remaining por- 
tion (£80) of the fund to the ilhistration of the special reports on 
Science, which are in course of preparation. 
Mr. Clibborn having resigned the offices of Museum Curator, Assist- 
ant Librarian, Serjeant at Mace, and Resident Housekeeper, it was 
resolved to combine the last of these offices with that of Museum 
Clerk, which had a short time before become vacant ; and out of a 
large number of candidates, a gentleman was selected for the appoint- 
ment, who appeared to the Council to unite the qualifications of Anti- 
quarian knowledge and executive ability. It is the duty of this officer 
to reside in the house, to have the charge of it, and of the collections 
it contains, to supervise the servants, to have the special custody of, 
and be responsible for, the articles in the Museum, and to act gene- 
rally under the direction of the Council and the Museum Committee. 
Under this new arrangement, Mr. Clibborn, ceasing to reside in the 
house, continues to hold the office of Clerk of the Academy and Assist- 
ant Secretary, which he has so long filled with credit to himself and 
advantage to the institution.
