2. The Museum continued open to visitors during the usu!l,l hours, viz., from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sundays, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all week-days, except Mondays, ·which were reserved for .deaning purposes,

but on Monday afternooi:.s the collections have, as usU:~l, been accessible to ·student's arid-schools for teaching purposes, on application being made to the Curator. The total number of visito1·s -recorded is given in

Appendix VI, and shows an increase of ·4,658 for the year. The average was 345 'on-,~reek-days (334 the previous year) and 590 on Sundays (561 the previous year)'. : The· -largest 'attendance. ori. any one day -

. occurred on Monday, 2nd October (Eight-hour Day), when 2,32µ persons entered the building. ' . .

3. For the financial year 1899-1900 a slio·ht increase was voted by Parlianient for the maintenance . ' t>

of the Museum, but the needs of the In.stitution are still much in .excess of the available funds, so that not merely economy, but penuriousness, has to be practised in some directiods: . ·

desire it. Some of the nests and breeding haunts of the birds will also be shown on full-sized plates, and

a great number of illustrations will be interspersed among the text, where many of the birds themselves

will be figured. The photographs, from which the plates representing the nests are made, have mostly

been taken by the author personally, and show the actual surroundings of the birds' homes. The black and

white drawings are by lVIr. Neville Cayley, so wt311 known for his life-like drawings and paintings of birds.

The letterpress will. contain descriptions of the birds, their nests, eggs, and haunts, and their life history.

The preparation of the plates is well advanced, and the work will be issued in parts, as the letterpress can

be got ready.

APPENDIX I.

CURATOR'S REPORT FOR 18!)!).

To the Trustees of the Australian Museum,- Sydney, January, 1900. Gentlemen,

I have the honour to hand you the following Report, dealinO' with the work of the Australian :Museum during the past_ ~ear, and on the condition of. the Collections in °your charge :-

1. General Conditi?n.-Both the Museum and its contents are in a very satisfactory condition probably as ~ood, an_d possibly even better, than at any time during its existence. · '

~- Fw·e Appli~nc~s.-The c_har~e of these applianc·es still continues in the hands of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, and per10chcal exammat10ns of the gear are regularly made by its officers.

3. StaJf .Ditties, c.&c.-:T~1ree c~a.nges took place in th<cl personnel of the Staff during the past year. l\'[uch to my regret, the s~rv1ces ?f l\fr. Thomas Co?l~sey, Ph.D:, B.Sc. (Lond. ), as Mineralogist were lost· to the ;iv.ruseum ~hrough Ins appon~tment t~ the P?s1tion of -~ss1stant Government Analyst, for which his extensive Chenuc:~.l knowledge emmently fitte~ h1m; he resigned on January 31st, 1899. By an arrange­ment, however, wit~ the ~epartm~nt of Public Health, Dr. Cooksey was permitted to retain a connection with us as Consultmg. Mmeralogist. The M~ssenger, J. A. Spencer, resigned on April 7th, and was succeede1 by S. W. Griffith about the sam~ tim~. ?n October 1st, A. W. Brown, Labourer, resigned through ill-health, and W. Thorpe was appomted m Ins place. ·

At the risk of being thought wearisome, I must respectfully ask you to again consider my remarks of last year on the undermanned state of the Museum as repented. This will even be more forcibly brought under your notice as soon as the additions to the building, now in progress, are completed-.:.:. towards the close of the present year-when more assistance, in the grade of Attendants at least must of necessity be provided. Much needful work remains either undone, or in an incomplete state' from the want of more mechanical help. Through causes to be explained hereafter, the past year proved an extremely trying one to me personally ; and had it not been for the . ever cheerful and ready help of all and particularly that of the Assistant Taxidermist (Mr. R. Grant), and one of the Carpenters (Mr. B'. Lucas), I could not have got through even the little that I did accomplish. I have the success of the Museum very much at heart, and I feel convinced that unless more help of the kind indicated is provided, we sh~ll not be able to maintain the high position so far attained amongst t-he Museums of Australia.

4. Care of tlw Collections.-The Collections, both exhibited and in store, continue to be in excellent condition. Insect pests, an almost inerradicable evil in a warm cli~nate, _are i1ow reduced to the smallest possible existence ; so smnll, indeed, as to be hardly noticeable. Th~. gratifying result has been attained not so much by the lavish use of disinfectants as by constant attention and examination on the part of those charged with such duties. · . .

5. Space.-The second half of the Ichthyological Gallery was cased from the 1898-99 vote, thm~ completing the wall-casing of the building as it now stands. All that rerpains to be done towards filling up unoccupied space, is to provide balustrade cases for this gallery. Next will follow the important question of 1·eplacing the antiquated floor-space cases distributed in some of the rooms, by others of a more modern type. As soon as the rooms now in course of construction are completed, attention must necessarily be directed to providing them with both wall and floor-spaoe cases--a costly undertaking. .

6. Structural J1£atters.-In the Report for 1898 a sum of £1,500 was referred to, to be expended in repairs and small additions to the building as it is, and a list of those so far carried out was given. To these may now be added those items completed during 1899, as follows :-(1) Continuation of the freestone wall from the private entrance to the intersection of William and College Streets; (2) New iron gates at the private entrance; (3) Repair and repainting of all the yenetian blinds; ( 4) Roadway from the old entrance in William-street to the Museum quadrangle; (5) Watchman's shelter--hut in the last-named j (6) , Cleaning of the whole of the stonework of the building, and coating with a preservative; (7) Painting of all doors and windows throughout the establishment; (8) Erection of a telephone closet; (9) Ere?tion of doorkeeper's box at the public entrance; (10) Encasing of Corinthian capitals of the front elevation as a protection against birds; (11) Re-dt·essing of the asphalt paths throughout the Museum quadrangle. .

It is with much satisfaction that I have to report; the commencement in August last ·of a por~10n of the two galleries forming the south wino- alono- the Sydney Grammar School alignment, and for wlucb, a~ stated in the 1898 Report, an appropri~tion gf £13,500 was ta.ken on the Loan Estimates of 1898-99. The contractor is Mr. John Howie, ot Parramatta. Excellent pl'ogress has already been ma,de, and I cannot speak too highly of the manner in which Mr. Howie is carrying on the work. . . . . 7. New Cases.-The Ichthyological cases have already been referred to, the glass shelvmg, m tins Instance being included in the contract ; the cases were erected by our usual Contract~1·s, Messrs. Thornas Jones & Co. A floor-space case was provided for a fifth Bower-bird Group. As r~gards the old locks of the balustrade Conchological cases, acting on my ad vice, you resolved not to l'eplemsh these, _but rather to repl~ce wholly, by degrees, with others of a better typo. Several large glass shades were provided to cover previously exposed specimens. ·

1 8. Collecting and JN,elcl-worlc.- Through the refusal of the Governmei:t t? provide the funds for it Collector's payment, the want of such an oflicel' still remains the weakest pomt 1~1 our armou~'. Dm:mg ~ few days spent in the Wallerawang District, l\fr. E. R. Waite was 11ble to replemsh our duphc_nte_ skms of Macrop~<li<lm, &c., and Mr. J. A. 'l'ho_rpe added to ou_t· Birds, when at ~ara

Roth; Miscellaneous Manufactures froi_n the Elhce, ~hlbert, an,d Samoan Groups, by Capt. E. C. Hoare ; Bornean Manufactures, by Dr. C. G. Seligman. It W11l be noticed that by far the larger number of these gifts are E_tl_n~ological. . , . . .

10. Exclianges.-Tbe acqu1sit10ns by exchange were less m 1899 than 1898, bemg 3,436 as aoainst 4,25:3, a considerable falling off in consequen_ce of the d~pletion of o~r duplicate _stock. in certain seitions. The more important e~changes were Australian Coleopt;3ra for A1~10nca~ Arac_hmda, with Dr. C. Brancsik; Bird Skins and Skeletons, with the Royal Museum of N atu_ral History m Leiden; a collection of Inver- . tebrates, C'hiefly Crustace.a from W. Australia, for Insects, with Mr. A. M. Lea; Australian Tokens· received from the Technological J'l:fosenm in Sydney. . . , ·

ll. Purchases.-Our ability to p~rchase was less 11: 1899 th_an m 1~98, only 301 objects having been bouo-ht in the former as against 646 durmg the latter penod. Th1s was m consequence of the miserable app~opriation allowed by the GoverI:rnent for the _purpose. The only purchases "'.'orth recording were a fine series of very old .A,ustralian, N. Gumea, and Pacrfic ~thnology, from M7. H. Richards, a transaction that will be continued in the current year ; a carved 'I ree-fern representmg an "Ancestral" figure from Mallicollo, from Mr. J. A. G. Macdonald_; and Ethnological specimens from N. Guinea an'd N. Britain, chiefly the latter, fr~m .the Re,·. R. H. Rickard. . . . ~ . .

12. Publications.-The long-deferred descnptive "Gatalogue of the Tumcata m the Australian Muesum," by Prof. W. A. Herdman, was publi~hed last y~ar. In 1888 my predecessor, Dr. E. P. Ramsay, acting on your instructiomi, forwarded a coll~ct1on of Tumcata to Prof. Herdman. In 1~93, howeYer, just as the work was about to be sent to press, circumstances beyond yo~1r control temporarily put a stop to its publication; but in 1897 it was again possible to contemplate the completion of the 'Catalogne. At the time the specimens were forwarded to Prof. Herdman they £o~·1:ied a complete col~ection of the Tunicata of the N.S. Wales coast, as then known to us, and very few add1t10nal forms have smce come to hand. It is, however, unquestionable that, by systematic collecting, which, unfortunately, you are not at present in n,

position to carry out, the list might be very much enlarged. In addition to the Museum material, Prof. Herdman incorporated certain forms known to him, but at present not represented in our Collection.

The Funafuti Memoir was completed last year, all but the index, by the publication of Parts 7-9. Good progress was also _made by Mr . .A. J. North with his "Catalogue of the Nests and Eggs of Birds found breeding in Australia." It was decided to spread the publication of this important work over three years, and to meet the first year's expenditure an appropriation of £200 was obtained through the 1898-99 Estimates. The work will consist of about three hundred pages letter-press, with one hundred· and ten text figures by Mr. N. Cayley, thirty plates of eggs, and forty of _nests, &c. On the same Estimates appeared the . sum of £400 for the publication of the "Scientific Results of the Thetis' Trawling Expedition," and of which the first part, containing the "Introduction" and the "Fishes," both by Mr. E. R. Waite, was published in December last. The second part containing the higher Crustacea by Mr. T. Whitelegge is well in hand, and will appear early in the current year.

Two additional parts of the "Records" appeared, being Parts 5 and 6 of Vol. iii. 13. lnformatio.n ctnd Duplicates Disseminated.-Numbers of visitors interested in Zoology were

afforded access to the Collections, and accommodation found for artists desirous of drawing from nature. Certain _additional anatomical preparations outside the scope of our operations were transferred to the Anatorrucal Muse:um at the University. A collection of British plants, coming within the sanie category, . was handed to the Director of the Botanical Gardens.

Numerous replies to correspondents seeking information were promptly made, and specimens named for students and others, the more important beino· :-Sub-fossil corals and shells from Fiji for .Mr. C. E. Andrews ; Living birds in the Botanical Gardens ~lamed for the Dfrector; Silurian corals from Fernbrook for _the _Rev. Mr. C~ombes; Corals from Funafuti Atoll for the Geological Department of the Sydn~y Umversity; Australian and Exotic Coleoptera named for Mr. E.T. Fowell; Western Australian fossils named for the Government Geologist of W. Australia; Bird-skins determined for Dr. W. l\facgillivra,y; Crustacea from ~iji for Mr. T. _Steel; Post-Tertiary bones from Woodlark Island for Prof. T. P. Anderson Stuart, M.~ .. _; List of Australian Mosquitos, with notes, for the sa,me; and notes on the Oyster -worm (Polyd01·a ciliata, J ohnst.) .for the Department of Fisheries.

. " A spirit _collection o~ local Food-fishes was supplied to the Technical College at Newcastle; c~sts of typical f ustrahan Meteontes to the Geological Department of Sydney University; and a collectwn of Australian ~n~~es to the_ School of the Sacred Heart Convent, tit Rose Bay. .

. 1~- Bpirit Collections.-These were maintained in aoocl order and from them numerous specnnens, chiefly Fish, were selected for public exhibition. Other d~1ties prev;nted Mr. C. Hedley from overhauling th0 Mol~u~ca, but tlHs duty . wiU be carried out during the current year without foil. The six-gallon Copper Stil~ by._Town~on and Mercer arrfved, and was put to good use. · . . th 15. Taxidermists (Jlfessrs. J. A. Ilwrpe and R. Gi-ant).-The chief work of the yen,r c011s1stcd 111

In all ~evenhunq:ed and sixty-seven specimens were handled, Birds .headincr the list. A full return will be found m App~nd1x VII. o

_I~- J?ormatm:i (Jlfessrs. 1£. Barnes Junior, and A .• H. Tciyl01·).-An additional cast, of the 200 cwt. 1\f t. St1rlmg Mete~nte was prepared, and three rcprod uctions of the model of Funafuti. The Atoll was 1nodelled by Captam E. C. Hoare, of the !,ondon Missionary Society, to · scale after the new Admiralty Chart~, from the s~:veys ~-f IrM.S. "Pengum." . It admirably depicts the remarkable physical features of a coral island of tlu., descnptwn. A very fine piece of work was prepared in our workshop by Mr. Allan }Iutchinson, l_ate of Hono~ulu,. by the casting from his own moulds of four fio-ures of Hawaiians to form two Et,Imological Groups, hfe-s1ze. (?no group consists of a woman and a girl, ri:ifiresenting the Kapa-heaters, the other of a man and a boy, the P01-pounders. These will ultimately be 1:xhibited in the new Ethnological Gallery. .

A full return of work in plaster will be found in Appendix VII. l~. Photog_rapher (11£r: !I. Barnes, J:unior).-Some high-class w'ork _was produced last year, consisting

of a sencs of Bird-nest stuches fo1· the 1llustrntion of Mr. Nor'th's Cataloo-ue ancl a laro-e number of Ethnological ol~jects for illustrn.ting our cases, for publication, and distribution~ ' ' b

~ new ~lepar~ure was the i~rn.ug~1ration of Micr·o-photogrnphy in connection with Palreonto1ogical jJlustrat10n. .For tlus purpose a nncro-photo camera was purchased .

19. Carpenters ( Messrs. R.- Bm·nes and B. Lucas).-It. is almost superfluous to report that the carpentering ·work during 1899 was, as in former years, both extensive and satisfactory. Three hundred and ninety-four :-;tands of various sizes were made, four large glazed cases ( wooden frames) for seals,

. twenty-five g]azed cases (metal frames) for large mineral ma,sses, metal frames for descriptive labels, and several picture frames. Three large tree-trunks were reduced and mounted on stands ; a twelve-foot case was ntted with a slope for "Cook Relics," with a large amount of work-of a miscellaiieous character. In many other ways I received every possible assistance from the Carpenters. ·

20. Smitlis (Messrs. B. Lucas and R. Barnes).-Additional_ brackets and iron stretchers for the Taxidermist's and Articulator's shops, and support-work for the Giraffe and Eland skeletons were made, and sundry miscellaneous repairs and additions effected throughout the premises.

21. Compositor and Printer (Jfr. J. W. Woodhead).-The number of labels composed and printed · (7,910) rather exceeded that .of thf' previous year, viz., 7,667. This means that during 1898-99, 15,577 old M.S. labels were discarded throughout the :Museum and replaced by legible and well-executed printed ones. Allowing for certain disadvantages under which we labour in connection with such work, I look upon this as a very satisfactory result. It must not be forgot.ten that this in no way fakes into consideration the mere labour of preparing the copy by the Assistants and mJse1f, for every old label, before passing into the hands of the Compo~itor, is thoroughly revised and, in most cases, re-written. A full return will be found in Appendix VIJ, where it will be seen that the largest number in any one class was in the In~ecta, the Ethnology following next. A commencement was made with the Conchological, Lower InvertebrataJ and N umismatical labels.

22. 1lfci-rnmalict.-The donations and exchanges were- less than in 1898, but specimens received ·by collection were more. The Mammals remain in the rmme condit,ion as in 1898, and are in good order. By removing some skins of less value, a few others, either unrepresented, or of better quality, we~·e inserted in the cases. Arnono-st the latter was a fine specimen of the Mountain variety of the Dingo, presented liy Mr. E. G. 1V. Palm~r. Tho skin collection was increased by some specimens collected_ by l\fr. -Waite in tlie WallerawanO' District and several valuable !!ifts from the N. S. Wales Zoological Society, such as, a Tasmanian DeYil ( Sa;·cophilits ursinw-1, Harri~), ~• Dorcas Ga:w:le ( Gaz_elfo do~cas, Linn.), an ~xis Deer (Cervus axis, Exlbn), ancl a Clouded Leopard (Pelis nebiilosct, Gnf. ). Liberal gifts were also received from Mr. F. C. Jansen, chiefly Marsupials.

23; Aves.---The donations, exchanges, and purchases in this section were less tlinn in I 898, but the collected specimens were in advance. - . . . . ,,

The M. S. of Mr. North's "Catalogue of the Nests and Eggs of Birds found breeclmg m A ustr,~ha made steady progress, as a portion will be published during the cn_rrent y~ar. He visited .Melbourne m March last to examine various collections, and, for the purposes of 11lustrat10n, many eggs were generously _lent by collectors, -prominent amono·st whom were Dr. 0. Ryan and Messrs. G. A. Keartland, J. Galmel, und 0. l?rench Junior all of Melbourne · and Mr. G. Savidge, of Copmn.nhurst, N. S. vVales. \Ve are also ~nder obli~ations to Mr. H . P. C.

The female was brought to Sydney m 1863 by the American

e ore' . d' d . A t 1896 . vhaler '' Winslow," and 10 m ugus , . ' A female crocodile, thirteen and a half feet long, was presented by the Council of the N. S. w_ ale!:! Zoological Society. . . .

The donations during 1899 were slightly less than m 1898, but the exchanges and specimens _ collected were slightly in excess. . · . · . . ..

25. Pisces.-During intervals, whilst prepan~g lus ~eport on the Fishes of the "Thet1s" Trawling E . d'tion ' Mr. Waite was able to devote some little time to the arrangement of the Ichthyological a-:fl:r;, tw~ hundred and fifty spirit specimens being prepar~d by Mr .. Allan R. McCul~och for that purpose. Tl · will be continued throuo·hout the present year, and will necessitate a steady withdrawal of material fr~%_ our stores, rendering o:i· means of exchange in this section even less than they were before. Some £ ·,. years ao-o when I commenced the general re-arrangement of the Museum contents, all mounted fish-. s~~ns were ·;,ithdrawn and passed into store. Accomm?clati~n being now a:7ailable, two hu~dred ~nd seventy-nine of these were selected, renovated by .the Tax1derrmsts and placed m the cases, makmg a _very c~·editable display. . . . .

Two very important a~d1tions wer~, made last y~ar, a fine Ribbon or ?ar-fish (Regalecus FJ_lesne, Asc.), and an example of the myster10us . " Palu of the Pacific. The Ifegalecys rs the third _Australian example known t and was found cast upon Shark Beach, Port Jackson, m August last. W 1th the exception of some i~juries incidental to the fragility ?f it~ ~embers, it was in fair condition, and_ meas~red thirteen and a half feet lono- · the donor was Mr. F1tzw1lham Wentworth. The Palu or " Oil-fish turns out to be Ruvettus pretio~us, Cocco,t a deep-water North Atlantic species, know?- to the Portuguese as the "Escolar."

The donations and exchanges were in excess of those of 1898, but the collected specimens far below. This, however, is accounted for by the large number of specimens obtained during the trawling operations of the " Thetis."

26. Osteology.-Bi.rds constituted the largest number of additions, including a J abiru ( X enorhynchus asiaticus, Lath.). A female Orang Utan ( Simia satyrus, Linn.), replaced an inferior and old example ; and a Rodent (Myopotamus coyper, Geoff:). The only specimen calling for special notice was the skull of a supposed "Sea-serpent," brought from Suwarrow Island by-one of the vessels of the Pacific Navigation Co., and which proved to be that of a Ziphoid Whale (Petrorhynchus, sp. ).

The donations were in excess, the exchanges very slightly so, and the collected material very slightly less than in 1898.

27. Insecta, Myriapoda, and Arachnida.-Good progress was made in the cabinet arrangement of · the Australian moths. A number of additional Coleoptera were placed in the Museum cases, and some life his~ories .added. The Exotic Lepidoptera were also supplied with printed labels. The principal presentations emanated from British New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, and the more important exchanges consisted of W. Australian Arachnida, and those of S. America and Madagascar.

_'fh~ _donations were considerably less than in 1898, but those received were of greater intrinsic . val1;1e m?1v1duallr Exchanges and collected specimens also fell off, although the total number of

reg1strat1ons was m excess of those of 1898. , . · · . 28 .. Conchology.:._On the completion of his investigation of the Funafuti :Mollusca Mr. Hedley gf~ve

lus attention to a reorganisation of the displayed shells, and mounted 450 additional tablets. He completed the rearrangement of the Pelecypoda. ·

' The wh~le of the conchological cases have now been provided with movable covers. . Several important presents were made, the most noticeable being Central American and S. Australian

~hells by J?rof. R. T?'~e, collec~ed by himself ; special novelties from Lake Tanganyika by Capt. E. C. Hoare ; cmd Nautilus pompilius! and its mollusc from Mallicollo, by the Rev. H. A. Robertson.

The total donations were· less than in 1898, specimens received in excha,nge greater, and those collected much in excess. · .

. · 29. lnvertebra;ta (excl-usive of Insecta, &c., and llfollnsca).-Nearly the whole of Mr. vVhitelegge's time was taken up with the "Thetis" Crustacea, the M.S. of the Decapoda and Stomatopoda being nearly readY: for the compositor at the close of the year. This necessarily interfered with current work, but, ;ot":'ithstand~ng, the printed labels were supplied to Lendenfeld's Spono-e types and some others. The

nmca~;hrece1ved_ from Prof. W. A. Herdman were simil::trly treated. i:,

0 e donations and exchanges were less than in 1898 by many specimens. t k ..,o. Etlvnology:-The general acquisitions were numerous and valuable. Mr. North still continues \he~h'the E~hnol~gical Register, but I have almost entirely relieved him of the practical work conuoctocl h1 d 11 t section.

The materi~l i~ Yen.is stone, partly calc~~·eous, P:trtly sili~eous, and pro?ably altered upraised coral. We were very deficient m objects from the ~ast Ind~an Archipelago, but this was to ~ome extent remedied by the receipt of a SJ?all but very good series of Bornean artwles from Dr. C. G. Seligman, of the Haddon Torres Straits Expedition. A second Upright or Sacred Drum from Mallicollo was acquired throuo-h the kind exertions of the Rev. T. Watt Leg~att. ?ne of the most i1:1p~rtant objects was obtained by pu~chase, a carved Tree-fern caudex, twelve feet high,. ,~ith a seated ~halhc fig:ur~ at the top, an? on_ th~ sides two human faces, symbolic of the ancestral spmts of the :village~·s; it 1s tro~ th~ "sm~;smg' ~round ,of a village in S.W. Bay, :Mallicollo. Amongst Australian desiderata a Widows Cap, of a different type to that already in the .Museum, was presented by Mr. C. Kilgour. · '

31. Historical.-A remarkable relic of bygone Colonial days was presented by the Hon. Varney Parkes, M.~.A., late Postmaster-Ge:11-er~l, in the foi·m of an _in~cribed copper plate found on excavating a telephone-wire tunnel, three feet _six mches below the existmg pavement, at the corner of Phillip and Bridge Streets, and on the south side of ~he latter. _T~e plate was embedded in a stone laid May 15, 1788, foi•ming pai:t of the so:1th-east foun~ation of a bmldmg used as the Governor's (C_aptain-Gen~ral Arthur

· . 32. l{uniismatics.-A large amount of work was performed in this S~ction by myse1£ assisted by · Mr. S. Sinclafr, in addition to the ordinary registration by Mr. A. J. North. The Collection was largely increased by the transfer from · the Technological Museum, with Ministerial sanction, of _its collection of coins to the number of five hundred and thirty-one, and by a few purchases. The British War Medals; Exhibition and Memorial Medals, British, Indian, German, Belgian, Austro-Hungarian Current Coinages, and others, were arranged and labelled. The Australian Tokens were partially prepared for exhibition and 'will be completed during the current year. As donations we received from the Corporation of the City of London a copy of H.M.G.M. Diamond Jubilee Medal; frorri the National Shipwreck Society of N.S. vVales its Sil Yer and Bronze Medals ; from the Royal Humane Society of Australia its Bronz~ Medal;

and from Mr. R. Parkinson, the current coinage of German ~ ew Guinea. 33. Mineralogy.-In consequence of Dr. Cooksey's resignation, what little systematic w_ork was

carried out, was performed for a time by myself. The supply of printed labels was steadily continued, and will be so throughout the current year as opportunity offers.

The more important gifts were Auriferous Lode,stones from the Charters Towers and Ravenswood Gold-fields, by the Minister for Mines, Quee~sland ; Chrome and Nickel Ores from New Caledonia, by Mr, F. Danvers Power; and Zeolites from Victorian localities, by Mr. G. B. Pritchard .

. The donations generally were much greater than in 1898; and the exchanges and purchases also lilrger.

34. Palceontoloiy,-Pressure of other duties compels me to confess that my own ·section was completely neglected, with the exception of the registration of acquisition$, and this will continue to be the case until I am provided with a competent Assistant.

The more important donations were :-From Prof. T. P. Anderson Stuart, M.D.; bones from the Gold-bearing drift of W oodlark Island, British New Guinea, consisting of those of Crocodilus porosus, Schn., and Halicore dugong, Gmelin; Eocene Fish from vVyoming, 'by Prof. H. A. vVard, and not hithei·to represented with us ; Mesozoic Mollusca from W. Australia, by Mr. A. Gibb Maitland ; Raised Coral-bed fossils from the Suva Sandstone, Fiji, by the Hon. J.

REPORTS OF SCIENTIFIC ASSISTANTS.

I have the honour to hand you herewith my Annua.l Report for the year 1899.

Mam:rnals. . . . Beyond the general care devoted to the collection by the Assistant-T11,xidermist, the MrumunJ.s tefceived ho special attention.

Museums, and during a few da s spent at Wallcrawang, I was able to add to our decreasmg stores of Marsupials by collection.

_ T1ie card catalogue system, which I adapted to Museum work and referred to in my last report, was t . ly made lFe of · and the catalogue, and some other orders of Mammals, both exhibited and

ex ens1 ve ~ ' , . 1 d l f , b · ·c1 r t is now complete. rh1s wor c was un erta can or me y my young helpmate, Mr. Allan ~fo~~~o~h, who, as a volunteer, has now well assisted me for eighteen months. -.

Reptiles and Batraeliians.

With the exception of 1:' few adllit~ons, the specimens in the Reptilia1:- Gallery remain u_nchanged. All were, however, provided with new prmted labe)si prepared on the pr~m1ses by ~he compositor. The Tortoises, Lizards, and Frogs, are in excel_lent concht10n, but much work w~ll be required on the Snakes in

·d tliat· ,, r·epresentative series may be displayed. The coloured casts, which form such attractive obiects 01 er <• • bl h tl . l . h . 1 . d J ' have been transferred to cases more smta e t an 1ose w nc previous y contame them. The whole exhibite.cl Reptilian collection has been cat~logued on the :ard_ system by my volun~eer w_orker.

Early in the yeat· I devoted some time to an exammat10n of the huge Tortoises from the Galapaaos Islands, and the result was published in the "Records of the Australian Museum." 0

Fishes. The greater part of the year was occupi,~cl in the p_r~paration of the Report on the fishes collected on

the trawling expedition of H.M.O.S. '~ Thetis. I~1 add1t10n to the l~tter-press, I 1:repared over thirty drawings in illustration of the part whteh was published on December 23rd as Australian Museum Memoir IV, part 1. . .

Since my last Report the Fish Galle1:Y has been completely ~urnished_ with wall cases: and, altho_ugh I have personally done little towards supplymg the cases with specimens, this work has by no means been neglected, for under my supervision my helper n:wunted two hundred and sixty specimens, and we hope to push on with this work during the present year.

The Taxidermist renovated the mounted fishes, and these also were stored in the gallery and _await labels and systematic arrangement. A few fishes were cast and coloured during the year and one or

. two plain casts were purch1tsecl and will be coloured as opportunity occu1·s. The superiority of cast fishes over mounted ones is so great that an effort will be made to ha,ve all our principal species so represented.

Last year I mentioned that the spirit ·collection of fishes in the new spir'it house had been broadly classified, but a more detailed arrangement was postponed. This collection is being so largely drawn upon for exhibition purposes that it would, at present, be useless to classify it more particubrly.

The collections, were enriched mainly by donations of which n1ay be specially mentioned a specimen of Regalews glesne, stranded in the hal'bour and presented by Mr. Fitzwilliam Wentworth-this was mounted and is now in the gallery; a small numbet· of fishes were received from the local committee_ oJ ~he Funafuti Coral-boring Expedition--of these the most interesting was the celebrated Palu, which I_ found to be Ruvettus pretiosus. From Mr. Alex. Duncan we received fishes from Suva, Fiji, while M_rs. T. Nichols and Mr. J. B. Waterhouse. sent us specimens from Lord Howe Island. Bj an arrangeip.ent with the Perth Museum (W.A.) we added examples from W est Australian waters, while a small series of local food fishes was prepared for the Newcastle Museum by desire of the Minister for Public Instruction ..

By the courtesy of Mr. J. A. Brodie, Secretary to the Fisheries Commissioners, I was enabled to visi.t the fish hatchery at Prospect Reservoir, and at the invitation of the Commissioners attended the experiments con~ucted for fishing by the electric light, an account of which was published as an Addendum to the Introduction of the "Thetis n Memoir.

Skeletons. . _The collec~ion ~·emains in the condition indicated in my last Report, and, indeed, until '-further space 1s prov1decl, but httle improvement can be effected. · · ·

The articulators prepared seventy-eio-ht skeletons clurino- the yem· of which twenty-six were mounted and placed in the gallery. A number of odd bones was aclded to the ai~atornical reference series. ·

It is very ral'·~ly that a zoologist has the opportunity of examining n. veritable Sea Serpent. In February last the ~a1ly papers created consiclemble interest by announcing that, not only had one been s~e11:, but that port10ns had_ actually been brought to Sydney. At the invitation of the nrn.nager of ~lie . Pacific I slands ~ompany, m comp11ny with yourself, I examined the bones, and found them to be the skulls and Ptrtiorts of vertebra! of two Ziphoid ·whales ( Pet1·orhynchiis). The animals ,vere stranded together on Suwarrow Island, and we obtained one skull for the collection.

In addition to the work above indicated, I Imel the privilege of preparing five plates in illustration of two papers by yourself, ancl one for my colleague, Mr. T. Whitclegge.

I have, &c., EDGAR R. ·wAITE.

During the year the collection has been enriched by 587 acquisitions. N urnerically -the additions exc~ed t~ose made to t~e Ornithological Collection, and much of my time has been taken up with thefr registration, although relieved by your&elf as far as possible, both in preparing the labels for the printei• and placing the specimens in the cases. ·

The presentations received in the early part of the year, were, in many instances, made in response to your circular referred to in ln.st year's Repgrt. Many are very rare and of exceeding great value, but only a passing reference can here be made to the most important. · As twual, the Rev. H. A. Robertson, of Erromango, has responded liberally to a request for specimens, among the most important of a large collection received from him being a very fine crescent Moon-god or , fetish. Captain E. 0. Hore, late commander of the missionary steamer "John vYilliams," has also contributed an interesting collection of shell necklaces, baskets, mats, and dresses from - the Gilbert and Ellice Islands. An equally interesting collection from Borneo was presented by Dr. Seligmann, and a very fine sacred drum from l\-:Ialicollo, by the Rev. T. vVatt Leggatt. , Rpears and arrows were received from Mr. Craig M~ginnis, of Tonga; different earths and pigments, used by the Fijians in decorating ·t~eir b?dies ~r ':ar 1mple:iµ.ents, f~·om Dr. B. G. Corney; a widow's cap and grave markers from the Darlmg R1vn D1str1ct from Mr. C. K1!g?ur; and a number of shells from Dr. W. E.

I have, &c., ALFRED J. NORTH.

To the Curator,­ January, i 900. Sir,

I have the honour to hand you here:with my Annual Report on the Conchological Section for - the year 1899. . .

The investio·ation of the Atoll of Funafuti which hacl already consumed most of my time for 1896 1897 and 1898 ao~in occupied my attention, and is at last finished. The part on the Bivalves was writte~ and ~ suppleme~t~ry colle_ction proc~r~d by later vi~itors t~ the atoll, and presented ?Y the Local Committee of the Funafuti Coral-bormg Expedit10n, was studied. 'Ihe mollusca of Funafuti were then registered and mounted. ·

After three and a half years detention from systematic museum work, I resumed it by revising the exhibited.Australasian shells. The Pelecypoda were re-arranged according to an improved classification of Dr. W. H. Dall. In the remaining orders space was made by withdrawing many small shells, and in their room exhibiting species of larger bulk recently acquired. Defective mounts were repaired ap.d nomenclature corrected as the work proceeded. The overflow of the exhibition cases was stored · in a cabinet, the drawers of which are· numbered to correspond with the numbers affixed to each case in the public gallery. •

After the Funafuti Collection the most important acquisitions registered were an extensive series of South Australian and Central American shells, received in exchange from Prof. R. Tate ; valuable donations . were received from Captain E. C. Hore, of shells from Lake Tanganyika; from Mr. E. Ashby, of Chitons, from South Australia ; and from Mr. A. Dean, of land-shells, from North Queensland.

A collection of shells used by the natives of North Que~nsland was named for Dr. W. E. Roth. The wants of the Section under my charge are: firstly, exhibition cases better than those in which the

collection is now shown; secondly, a revision of the marine Australian Gasteropoda, that division being now the worst represented in number of species, quality of mounting, or proper labelling ; thirdly, some assistance in the discharge of my ever increasing duties.

From time to time my services have been required by you in the Ethnological Section. Students and inquirers have as usual been supplied with names and other information.

I have, &c., CHARLES HEDLEY.

To the Curator,- 15 January, 1900. Sir,·

Herewith 1 have the honour to submit to you my Annual Report for the year 1899. The number of_ specill1;ens acquired is considerably less than last year. This is due to few~r

exchanges and to a fallmg-off m the number of donations. Altogether 645 specimens have been regis­tered, of ~hese, about 550 are Crustaceans from the "Thetis" collection. The chief acquisitions are_ from the followmg sources :-Mr. J. Berry presented a valuable series of Crustacea from Fiji; Mrs. T. N1ch?ls collec~ed numerous examples of Echinoderms and Crustacea at Lord Howe Island, including several species not hitherto rec_orded from that extremely rich faunal region; another series of Crustacea and Echinode_rms from the sam_e ISland was collected by Mr. J. B. Waterhouse. The only exchange worthy of note is a useful colle~t10n of Invertebrates-chiefly Crustacea-from "\Vestern Australia, received from Mr. A. M. Lea.

Durmg the year some attention has been o-iven to the collections both to the duplicates in store and al~o to those _on ex~ibit ; in regard to the latter, the work of removing the manuscript labels and r?lacmg them with prmted ones, _has been commenced. The type collection of Sponges has been co1~1-p eted, and the labels for the remamder of the Sponges and the models of Foraminifera are ready and will be placed on the stan'ds as soon as convenient. . . Apart from the usual routine work, the "Thetis" collection has occupied nearly the whole of my time .. The 550 specimens mentioned above form only a portion of the Crustacea · these in part, have been ienencally and specifically determined. Durino- the process of selectino· the sm~ller Crustace,i from the

ulk I?aterial, opportunity was taken to pick o~t every obJ·ect of value in •1,ll o-r~ups so as to obvia,te the necessity of sift· ·t d t· TI I · ' · ' 0 ' s arc d mg i a secon 1me. 10 resn t is that many of the smaller specimens of other group re~ y_for study, when the opportunity arrives. The manuscript dealing with the Decapoda and Stomato­po a is almost ready for the press, and will form part of Memoir IV.

I have &c ' TFlOMAS WHITELEGGE.

To the Curator,­Sir, January, 1900.

I have the honour to hand I 'th th A you 1erew1 e nnual Report of the Entomological Section for the year 1899. . I nsecta and A'rachnida.

The number 0 ~ specim_ens received as donations is considerably less than that registered during the previous yea~·- Notwithst andmg this fact, however, a large percentao-e was of o-reater value than those recorde~ durmg 1_8~8, as many of them filled up blanks in our coiiection, and bwere from such (to us) inaccess~ble Iocahtrn~ as t~e Island of Funafuti, per the Local Committee of the Funafuti Coral-boring Expedit10n; Samarai, or Dmner Island, New Guinea, by the Rev. C. W. Abel; Kiriwini Island, New Guinea, by the Rev. S. B. F ellows; and a collection of Butterflies from the Solomon Islands by Lieutenant Robarts, R.N., H.lVI.S. '.' Mohawk." Generous donations have also been made to our duplicate collections by Messrs. W. S. Dun, J. A .. Thorpe, G. Dixon, and Mrs. H. Forde .

. There has been very httle collecting done during the year, and this-chiefly Coleoptera-by Dr. E. P. Ramsay.

In_ the matter of exchang_es, there has also been a falling-off in the number of specimens acquired. , Under this head a larg~ collect10n of \Vest Australian .A.rachnida was received from Mr. A. M. Lea,

and one of South Amencan and :Madagascan Arachnida from Dr. D. Brancsik. Small collections of European Coleoptera were received from MM. Emil Sandin, and E. Guerin. ·

The work of revising, remounting, and registering specimens for cabinets and gallery was diligently prosecuted during the year. The t ask of bringing together and marshalling in systematic order our large collection of Australian Moths, which had been commenced towards the close of 1898, was continued, and Iain happy to report that very substantial progress was made. This collection, owing to the vast number of species, occupies a large amount of space. One cabinet, whi.::h had been cleared of • its miscellaneous contents, has been arranged and completed ; and a second, which I set apart and cleared for the same purpose, is now nearly finished. A la~ge num?er o_f B~etle~, not ~therto dis~lay~d, has been set out for exhibition, and so also has a large series of hfe histories illustrative of our md1genous Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. The total number of registrations under this head-old collection-is 902, an amount greatly in exc~ss of 1898.

The whole of the manuscript labels attached to the exhibited collection of Exotic Lepidoptera have been replaced by printed ones, and those of the $.ustralia.n Beetles are now receiv~ng attention. .

As in previous years, assistance has been extended to students of Australian Entomology, both m respect. of the naming and preserving of specimens and in information as to life histories.

The collection is clean and free from insect ·pests. I have, &c.,

W. J. RAINBOW.
