The Curator of Mineralogy reports : 
"Considerable progress has been effected in the arrangement 
of the minerals, and a small amount, the first for many years, 
has been expended on a few choice specimens. 
" The collection of minerals, although small, is very useful for 
the study of the science and the illustration of the productions of 
Devon and Cornwall. Contributions of other minerals than those 
in possession, or of duplicates of those already there, but in better 
condition, or of better quality, are very desirable." 
The Curator of Petrology reports : " The two additional cases 
recommended in his last report have been fixed, and a large 
number of local specimens have been added to the collection, 
which was found of much interest and value during the visit of 
the Geologists' Association. Among the chief donations is a 
valuable series of Channel Rocks given by Mr. A. Roope Hunt, 
f.g.s., of Torquay." 
The financial position of the Society does not call for comment ; 
the report of the Treasurers furnishes all necessary information.
