5. Museum .—During the past year several interesting additions have 
been made to the Natural History Collection of the Institution. Of these 
the following may be named: Some bones of the Dodo (JDidus ineptus), 
presented by Major Anson, R.A.; a small collection of Indian Birds by 
Captain "Warren, R.A., and a few British Birds by Lieut. Burgess R.A. and 
Lieut. Legge, R.A. The collection of British land and freshwater Mollusca 
presented by Asst.-Surg. Tate, R.A., are a valuable contribution, as also the 
reptiles and insects received from Lieut. Hughes-Hallett, R.A. from Madras, 
which owe the excellent state of preservation in which they were received 
to their having been sent home in bottles containing methylated spirit.
