for this Eeport. 
In eonchology the donations have been very rich. Through the liberality 
of Lt.-Col. Freeth, R.A. the museum has become possessed of a fine cabinet 
of shells containing many hundred specimens which were collected and 
arranged by his father the late Sir James Freeth, K.C.B.; and contributions 
have also been made by Captain C. L’Estrange, R.A., and by Lieutenant 
Annesley, R.A., from Mauritius and Aden respectively. 
Major Andrews has presented some valuable geological specimens; and 
Colonel Woollcombe, C.B., R.H.A., and Lieut.-Col. Anson, R.A., have con¬ 
tributed many miscellaneous objects of interest from Aden and Madagascar. 
A collar of Bandoliers of the 17th Century, kindly presented by J. Hewitt, 
Esq., deserves mention from its rareness, and to that gentleman and Capt. 
H. Brackenbury, R.A. the best thanks of the Committee are due for naming 
and arranging the ancient fire-arms and other weapons belonging to the 
Institution.
