The President drew attention to a number of recent additions to the Museum, which were arranged on tables in the lecture-room for exhibition to the meeting. Among them was a fine collection of minerals received in exchange from the United States National Museum, and a series of rocks and minerals illustrating the geological structure of the Thames Goldfield, presented by Mr. James Park, Lecturer at the School of Mines, Thames. Particular attention was drawn to the skin of the rare flightless duck of the Auckland Islands (Nesonetta aucklandica), presented by Sir W. L. Buller.
