Museum are an Arctic Wolf, Tree Porcupine—the latter from Mr. 
Bostock of the Scottish Zoo., Glasgow—and the important exchange 
made with the Museum of Perth, West Australia, thereby adding 
a number of animals to our collection peculiar to the Australian 
region. 
A set of models of Precious Gems form a very useful addition to 
the mineral oollection. To the Geological collection were presented 
by Mrs. Barr the specimens brought together by the late Mr. T. 
Barr, of the Caledonian Railway, consisting of 141 fossils and 72 
minerals. Some of the specimens are very fine, and will be a useful 
addition to the Index reference series. 
The Committee is indebted to Mr. Robert Kidston, F.B.S., who 
very kindly named our series of carboniferous plant fossils.
