moa remains. Advantage was taken of the opportunity of their visits to arrange for mutually beneficial exchanges. On this subject I have to draw the notice of the Board to the fact that for exchange purposes almost all the available duplicates in the museum have been exhausted. It is essential to-.,the paying-off of our rather heavy indebtedness in this respect, and in order to be able to keep adding to our own collections, that, as in other museums, more time and money be devoted to the collection of additional stores. I have to report that my assistant, Mr. Colclough, was absent in Dunedin during the course of the Exhibition, in charge of the Anthropometrical Laboratory, instituted by me for the scientific measurement of colonial-born visitors. Through a misunderstanding of the Committee's minute, which I regret, he was absent, although ready to return at any moment the Committee desired, for a longer period than the Committee had given leave. I have to return my thanks to the scientific societies in Europe, America, and Aiistralasia, who have continued to the library so regularly and with great liberality the gift of their publications, as well as for the donations of specimens, chiefly from the people of Canterbury, which have not been less numerous than the average of former years. Though all have been gratefully accepted, none of them call for special mention here, except that of the model of the Shaw, Savill, and Company's mail-steamer "Arawa," presented to the museum by the Messrs. Denny, the well-known shipbuilders, through Mr. P. Cunningham, of Christchurch. I have to report satisfactorily on the manner in which my assistants in the museum have performed their several duties. I have also to acknowledge the kindness of the Inspector of Police in permitting the attendance of an officer on Sundays, whose authority, I am glad to say, however, it has not been once necessary to invoke. Henby O. Forbes, The Chairman, Board of Governors, Canterbury College, Christchurch. Curator.
