The chief event of the year was the addition of a 
new Room, No. iia, to be devoted to Models of Con- 
veyance, such as models of Indian Canoes and Surf 
Boats, Katamaranjs, and all other kinds of craft, 
from all parts of the world, showing the evolution of 
transit both on land and water. Also that the Zoo- 
logical Collection had been re-arranged, and all the 
animals placed under glass, and are now being fully 
labelled. 
From the ist of January, 1894, Mr. Horniman 
decided to open the Museum on an extra day, viz.,,. 
Monday ; making it now three days a week open to 
the Public — Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. 
From observation it has been noted that during 
the year several persons (students and children from 
the Board Schools) made notes and sketches, chiefly 
from the Armour, Indian and Japanese specimens, 
and Butterflies, &c. Young collectors and enthusiasts 
have brought their Shells, Birds’ Eggs, Butterflies,. 
&c., to identify and name.
