It is gratifying to note the increasing interest taken in the 
Museum as indicated by the number of specimens received by 
the Curator from various donors in all parts of the country. 
The funds which His Excellency the Governor, Sir H. C. 
Belfield, collected for the Museum Building, &c.. Fund are 
shown in the Annual Accounts for the first time, having been 
formally handed over to the Society at the beginning of the 
year. 
It is with deep regret the Committee records the death 
of Lieut. R. B. Woosnam, who was killed in action at the 
Dardanelles on June 4 last. Lieut. Woosnam had been a 
member of the Committee since his arrival in the country in 
1911, and had taken the keenest interest in the Society’s 
activities, which he was always ready to help in any way. 
The Committee feels that it has lost a valued colleague and 
friend as well as a worker in the cause of science whose wide 
knowledge was of the greatest value to the Society. 
The assistance that the Society has received from various 
individuals during the year by donations to the funds, already 
detailed above, contributions of specimens for the Museum, 
articles and notes for the columns of the Society’s Journal, 
is again gratefully acknowledged. 
The thanks of the Committee are also due to Mr. S. E. J. 
Howarth, the Honorary Auditor, who has audited the accounts 
for several years. 
John Sergeant, 
Honorary Secretary.
