26 The Journal of the Royal 
retained for Holidays and that the time on Sundays might 
be altered to lo to 4. 
This was agreed to. 
The President invited discussion as to the desirability 
of re-considering the matter of representation at the Pan- 
American Exposition. There was a feeling in some 
quarters that they would not be wise to negle6l this 
opportunity of showing their produ6ls. There was one 
point to be considered, and that was that it would be 
close to Canada, where we hoped to develop closer trade 
relations. 
Mr. Wieting said that if the West Indies would unite 
with us, so that the expense be divided, something might 
be done, but not otherwise. 
Hon. B. Howell Jones suggested that the Society might 
communicate with Barbados and Trinidad. 
It was agreed to leave the matter to the Dire6lors. 
The thanks of the Society were accorded for the fol- 
lowing donations to the Museum : — Horned Owl, A. 
Daniel; Caterpillars, H. A. Burrowes; Irish Penny, T. J. 
Roy ; Rice Inse6l Pests, A. R. Gilzean ; Antique Whistle, 
F. G, Harvey; Spiny Spider, J. C. Pollard; Cacao Beetle 
Pests, G. S. Jenman. 
Mr. Quelch stated that he had heard that Mr. im Thurn 
had decided to present the stone implements at Mora- 
whana to the Museum. This, he understood, was a very 
good colle6lion, and he was desired to go and pack them. 
The President said he was sure they would be gratelul 
to Mr. im Thurn for this handsome donation. 
The meetins: then terminated.
