5. Museum. —The Committee regret that very little has been added to 
this branch of the Institution during the past year; but they gratefully 
acknowledge a valuable addition received from Lieut.-Col de Teissier, R.A., 
of a fine collection of skulls and horns from India; also a fine Tiger’s 
skull from Major Goodenough, It. A. 
It is most desirable to complete the collection of British Birds. And as 
very little exertion is required on the part of members to place this part of 
the Ornithological collection in a satisfactory state, the Committee hope that 
another year will not pass away without good progress being made towards 
this desired end. 
The Committee gladly record the promise of assistance in this matter 
from Captain Dames, and as a guide to other officers who may also be willing to 
aid in completing this portion of the collection, a list is added of the species 
most in request. Lieut. O. Annesley has also kindly promised to give 
similar assistance in species from India. 
The collection of shells is very deficient in many families, and some are 
not even represented. Donations from all parts of the world would therefore 
be acceptable, and however common the specimens may be in the locality 
in which collected, they would be of value to the Institution. 
British insects are nearly a blank, a few beetles comprising all in this 
department of the Museum. The Committee hope that Members will by 
their contributions assist in remedying this deficiency.
