Abstract of Annual Report. The Hon. Secretary's report showed that during the session four general meetings have been held and five Council meetings. Eight original papers have been read, and considerable interest has been taken in the work of the Society during the past year. The Hon. Curator's report showed that the specimens added to the Museum by presentation and purchases were valuable and numerous, and that the Museum was in a fairly good condition. The Hon. Treasurer's report showed a credit balance of £16 17s. 4d. The report of the Hon. Curator to the School of Mines bore striking testimony to the success attending his classes of boys in assaying and mineralogy; but, in consequence of the lack of interest shown by the adult portion of the community in the work, it was found impossible to meet expenses. It was therefore resolved to close the school.
