“Ath. A portrait of the late Dr. S. P. Tregelles, tu.p., painted

The Curator of Antiquities reports : 
“A Barrow near Holsworthy was opened by members of the 
Society during the last summer, but no trace of an interment or 
relics was discovered. 
“Mr. T. K. Dymond, F.s.4., having drawn attention to an 
interesting little Baptistry of the fourteenth century in Mount 
Edgeumbe Park, by the kind permission of the Earl, it was ex- 
amined by some of our members, and a drawing with plans has 
been prepared by Mr. Hine for insertion in the ‘ Transactions.’ ” 
The Curator of Zoology reports : 
“The collection of British birds, most of them local, belonging 
to Mr. Julian, has been purchased for the Museum.” 
The Curator of Geology and Mineralogy reports : 
“ During the past year several valuable contributions of minerals 
have been made to our Museum, such as were much wanted. We 
have now a good, useful, mineralogical collection ; but are wanting 
room for more complete classification and display. I have to ac- 
knowledge the important assistance rendered by Mr. R. N. Worth 
in the arrangement of the collection of local and geological speci- 
mens, which now assumes a valuable form, such as, with the aid of 
further promised contributions, will prove but little, if anything, 
inferior to the most important collections in Devon and Cornwall.
