Sir John Hawkins : Sailor and 
Statesman .... 
Mr. R. N. Worth, f.g.s. 
Five lecturing members, nineteen 
associates, and fifteen lady 
associates have joined the Society during the Session, the numbers 
on the books being eighty-one lecturing members, one hundred and 
fifty-three associates, twenty-five lady associates, and three junior- 
associates, being an increase on each denomination of Subscribers 
over those of the former Session. 
The Museum and Art Gallery having been completed, were 
opened on Tuesday, March 27th, by the Worshipful the Mayor of 
Plymouth, in the presence of the Worshipful the Mayor of Devon- 
port, the Chairman of the Local Board of Stonehouse, the President, 
and a large assemblage of the members, associates, and subscribers 
and their friends, including many ladies — the President on the 
occasion explaining the proceedings in reference to the building, 
and the objects for which the Museum had been established ; and 
the Treasurer giving an account of the financial position of the 
Society in reference to the subscriptions obtained, and the amount 
expended for the new buildings. 
The Curators have devoted much time and attention to the 
arrangement and classification of the valuable collections belonging 
to the Society, and the Museum is now well worthy the notice, not 
only of students in the various departments, but of those whose 
knowledge is of a higher character.
