summer. 
The Curator of Fine Arts reports : 
" During the past year several engravings of local celebrities 
have been presented by Mr. C. Skardon ; and there is reason to 
believe that many pictures would be forthcoming if there were 
space to hang them."

" The following specimens have been added to the Mineralogical 
Collection during the year —
