Curator’s Report. — ( William McIntosh). 
As curator of the Museum of the Natural History Society 
of New Brunswick, I beg to submit a report of the work of the 
museum for the year ending September 30, 1912. 
During the earlier part of the year, important changes in 
the building were being completed and the museum was not 
opened to the public until November 12th, and the collections 
were not all in place until some weeks later. 
Visitors . — About 6,000 persons visited the museum during 
the year; among these were a number of scientists from abroad 
who came to St. John to examine our collections. 
Donations . — The donations have been numerous and valu- 
able, showing the great interest taken in the museum by the 
public. A complete list of the objects received, and the names 
of the donors will be found in the appendix to this report. 
Zoology . — No changes of importance have been made in 
this department. It might not be out of place to draw attention
