The Judges in Classes IX. and X. have not made any- 
special report beyond formal returns of prizes awarded. 
Class XL— Miscellaneous. 
The two exhibits in this Class of greatest interest 
were the Stone Implements exhibited by Dr. NlCHOLLS 
of Dominica, and the Indian Pottery-fragments found 
at Plantation Enmore by Mr. RASHLEIGH PORTER. 
Stone hatchets or " thunderbolts " as they are termed by 
the Creoles are found in more or less numbers throughout 
the West India Islands, and have formed the subject of 
several interesting papers, one of which, by Mr. IM 
THURN, treats especially of those of this colony where 
in the far interior they are still manufactured for use. 
The mounds at Enmore where the Pottery was discovered 
deserve careful examination. 
The Snakes exhibited would have been shown to 
greater advantage in better bottles. A complete and 
properly named collection of the ophidia of British 
Guiana is much wanted, and if the specimens now shown 
can be sent to the Colonial and Indian Exhibition an 
opportunity may be offered of having them examined and 
classed by competent authority. 
The Birds of the colony were represented by a col- 
lection of Skins shown by Mr. COLLIER and bv four 
handsome cases with admirably well mounted specimens, 
exhibited by Mr. FRESSON. The skins were not many, 
and only a few of them of more than ordinary quality. 
A collection of Skulls contributed by Dr. C. E. YOUNG, 
was well worthy of notice. 
Tobago contributed some Birds' Eggs and Nests ; and 
Mrs, Harper and Mr, MATTHEWS, cases of Lepidoptera;
