for the geologists, and interesting all whether by the fine 
collection of animal remains from the Norfolk coast (now by 
the liberality of his son, Mr. Russell Colman, forming part of 
the extensive collection in the Castle-Museum) or the treasures 
in all the branches of art collected in his beautiful sea-side 
residence. I have already mentioned Mr. Colman’s liberality 
to the Norwich Museum, it is impossible to enumerate all the 
instances in which the institution is indebted to him, but I may 
mention that to him we owe the re-stuffing and casing of the 
beautiful group of Norfolk-killed Bustards in the centre of the 
British Bird-room.” 
“ Mr. H. G. Barwell died on July 9th. He joined our Society in 
1875, but never took an active part in its work, although an ardent 
lover of nature, the beauties of which, as an artist, he was very 
successful in delineating. Mr. Barwell was for many years Honorary 
Secretary of the Norwich Government School of Art, where his

the Secretaries of the Norfolk and Norwich Archaeological Society, 
and one of its most frequent and valued contributors.” 
“The Rev. J. M. Du Port died at Denver Rectory, on 21st of 
February, having been for some time in declining health. 
Mr. Du Port joined the Society in 1877, being at that time Vicar 
of Mattishall, and was an active member, frequently attending the 
excursions ; his genial manners and extensive knowledge of all 
connected with natural history rendered him on such occasions 
a most delightful companion, but it was Fungology which he 
made his special study, and in this branch of botany he attained 
considerable eminence; his assistance was readily and cheerfully 
rendered to all who sought it. In 1881, Mr Du Port succeeded 
to the Rectory of Denver, having been made Honorary Canon of 
Norwich in 1881, and subsequently in 1890 was appointed Rural
