no formal notice of the publication had been taken at 
the last meeting of the Society. This was probably in 
consequence of the pressure of other business ; and he 
moved that the thanks of the Society be tendered to 
Mr. im Thurn for the very creditable manner in which 
the Journal had been commenced. 
The motion was seconded by His Honor Mr. Justice 
King and carried unanimously. 
It was then moved by Mr. Williams, seconded by Mr. 
N. D. Davis, and carried unanimously, that the thanks of 
the Society be tendered to those who have contributed 
papers to the Journal. 
The Curator of the Museum. — 'On a question 
being asked by Mr. Williams as to what was 
being done to obtain the services of a curator of the 
Museum in place of Mr. im Thurn, the chairman men- 
tioned that Mr. im Thurn was taking a general interest 
in the Museum, collecting for it, and giving his services 
as far as he could to the Society. 
Mr. Williams said that he knew a person who would 
be willing to assist in preparing a catalogue if Mr. im 
Thurn wished such assistance. 
The chairman and secretary both stated that they 
believed that a catalogue was in course of preparation, 
but that it had been delayed in consequence of the 
setting up of specimens for the Museum not having been 
completed. The secretary also stated that Mr. Walker, 
on behalf of the Society was still engaged in correspon- 
dence with Sir Joseph Hooker at Kew, as to obtaining 
the services of a competent curator, but without having 
as yet succeeded.
