1'0 TliE HONORAll1E THE GHIE~' SEGUETARY. SIR,

I have the honour; on behalf of thx: Trustees of tile Puh!k Library, ~luseums, and National Gallery of Vlctoria, io .::ubmlt th(: ivllm·,ing report for tile ykar 1905 :-

J' TIIE 1' tiBLlC LIURAR );'.

The total number of volumes in ail lJranches of the lnstirutiun is now :220,116.

The Trusk-es feel that tl~eir lirst Uuty, in prt:seuting their Revurt lur tbe year, is to urge 11lNU thu Goverumcnt the nc--ct:ssr.) for mort: :.Hit:LtUUt\.' accommmLuio:1 ior tbest: V(.IUIDts, and fvr future i.t.Ci.:CS5ions. Larly .tl11j[ )i..'J.[ lllC) \l.;;_itcd uvvn the .P.tctm~·;·, and urged the Ut::siu:Jilily ill erecting new lZeu.timg Rovms b ket:pwg '\nth Ili.OUern requirement!). The time \\·as thought especially op:r"Jrtuue ior such .;.ctio~I, in view uf the retun1:ng _iJT06perity ot the couutr)', ~:nd fwm the i;,u::t tllat the juUik"e ul the Librarv wis shortiv to be cddmtted. That >Cdtlm.:.Lion i~ to rake pbce during the present year1 ami ~s it is twenty )tars since any adJitioncd S!JdCC \\ <.t.S proviU-eD fDr

Library purpores, the Trustee~ would again rei:ipectfu!ly urge tllc .:ae~e:.s:t) of adopt­ing some .such scheme as was !hen sulmutteJ. 1a a breat L1Unry scie.ntiilc cl<.tssilka· t1on is esse:r~ti:d1 and such classilication cannot Le 1noperly carried out Jn ov<...:rcru\\'ded and tm:mitable buildings. The Govcnmtent of Vktori~ 11J.s almvst always made generoas prorision for the l'ubli<::: Library J and t:H: State has thus Geen enaUkd to obtab a. L1brary that ranks very high amongst simittr inMitutions in the .l3r:titih Empire. The Trustees are anxious to uphoJJ the llrt:stigc of the LiUmry, IJut they are sadly hampert:U by the Jack of room. They lw.\·e lx::en COllll)eUcd to makc­use of such storage as was at their disposaL 111~\·entilJ.teU, .iE~lig!1teU, and un~uit­a'ble as this ..lCCorr.rnodation is, the time is almost at ha nU when 1-t \\ill be entirely exhausted. The Tru::'tees, therefore, desire to make an uq.;<:nt appeal tu the Goveru­Jnent to provide them with necessary means to carry out the great trust that lias lx.-cn committed to their hands. During the dark days of the Statt: they refrained from urging the needs of the Institution, Out with returning prosperity they venture ro claim a generous consideration for the really urgent requirem~mts uf 1.hc J?ulJ~ic Library.

The numl.Jer of books purchased fur the Library is considerably less than in the previous year J but in 1904 suiX: -...-ery large ~>et s ot works were added to the shd ves, and the number of volurnt:s Uoug:ht jn tbat y\":,U was, therefon::J greater than usual. The number of donations i:; a~mo~t <.:Xa<'tl y tlw s;une as in the previm:s ye.:u, ~ud the Trustees, in returning; gratdul ackmmlt>dg:nents to :he donor:..J would espcci::lly { 1r'aw the attemion of the Gmcrmnz'flt to t:w \cry liUcral treatment they receive in this respect. Th;:;y are anxious to reciprocate a:; Llr a:> pnssiUle, and they eumcstly hope that the (Joyernment \\ill :u~,'>i~>t tlu·m lJ) pro\ id!ng a, JilJ~ral numl)€'r of uflidal volumes for purposes of exchanges.

A Conunonwca!th Cop) right Act WJ.'i pas~;,.·d iluring tb: }\:ar, iKH at the im;t,1nce of the Trustees, the Ferh .. --ral Govt:Inrnent was good enough to resen--e the existing rights of the Institution in regard to the receipt ·of puhlicatior::.s i:;sucd :in the State.

The Trustees are plc<lst>d to report that thcr h:t n: lx."':::n able tu render a 1 aprer assistanoe than usual to the colllltry llhrarles in ViotoriJ. :\lore than 8,ooo volur~es We~e lent during the year, and, as the cases COlltaJn very little fiction, it is f-elt that the educational value of the3e drculating libraries mn~t lx_. \'er} oo:-~sideraUk.

2. THE NATIONAL GALLERY.

In the ear]y part of the year the Director visited Europe O!l behalf of the Gallery, ma:nly wit!1 8. view to pt:rcb>sing works of art, .:~nd arranging for future purcha&."S under the terms of tf:e Ff>hon Bcque!'t. }.rr.

On his return he submitted a. full and v:1lnahk: renort to the Trustff:s. who have sin<'\", with the CCHipeutlon of the l•'d!on Jkqur)sb C-::>nuniltee, :1rrangcd to cany out many of his suggestions.

The triennial Travelling Schobr;:hlp was awarded to :Mr. Isaac Cohen for his picture, ''Reconciliation."

The Trustees are indebted to an nnkno-wu donor for a painting by Mr~ St. George Hare, entltlei 11 The Victory of F'aith," to }fr. Fnirfax :\Iurray for a copy of Rossetti's "Proserpine,P and to }.frs. Ed,"·ards for a land:K'flpe, n Southwnld,n by Ethvin F.dwards,

'

The first nnmber of a r~ew ser:e.s of puhlic:1tions. to be known :.ts u Memoirs of the Nntional MtL~llmJ'-' was comple~.::d dur:ng the year, and :t h hoped vhat the series may be continucU 1 as such work is essential in the lnterestf: of the 1\[nsenm. The Director points out~ hmn:v~r, that the S<'"ientif.e :.t:tff is a Yerv small o1w, and it is almost impossiblP for the officer,:; to dc\·ote time tQ researC'h 'work.

The re-arr::tngcment and iahE"~1ing of the Austobsi;:m and foreign mineral coHet> rion:-; is now cnmp~etc1 .r,nd st{~~jy progres" has been mrvle in all departments of the Must·um. Jfcch of th0 \York done wili he 5ef::·n to better :1th":J~!f::ge wht>n the :1f'w

The tot~l numbe-r of borrowers in the I.cnrhng I_.ibran :1.nd the numhf'r of hooks rc:-~d are both sli;;htly less :h:m in t~1c: pw-:eding yE"ar.

The Tntstecs, ·on the other hand, Inn: deddf'd not to incre:l!'e the works of fiction in the Public Lending Library. In this department alone tht:: issuE's ·were less thar. in the predous ye-ar by near·ly ;looo~ so that t~e fnl!ing~off in other depart­mo:nts is very trifling.

INDUSTRIAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ~IUSEUM.-REPORT OF THE CURATOR.

StR,

To tlte C!tairman of the Industrial attd TcrJmological Afuseum.

Industrial and Tecbno~ogical ~·fuseum, Melbourne, 7th March, tgo6.

J have the honour to submit the following report for the year 1905 :-

Miss Cane has completed writing up the new stock~book,, and re-numbering the ~pecimens in accordance with it This work h:ts emtailed a considerable amount of trouble1 a.s in many instnnres no records were available. A card C'£~ta1ogue has nls0 bf>en prepared, and classified after the system adopted in the arrangement of the coflectlons themselves.

The prospects for the future of the :\1us.eum are no brighter now th.:m thev were }eMs ago-indeed, the pres-ent state of stagnation is likely to proYe fatal, unlesS some st€·ps are taken to have suitable nr__commodation provided for it, so th:1t it crrn be m0rle a Jive and serviceable •XJn(·ern, No possible hope C:tn be entertained of making am'· thing of it under ex~~ting cnnditioos. This is the more to bt· deplored ,ihen it is re:tUzed what the objeds were for founding the Museum, and nnthir:g but rf'gret shonld be felt 1t the decay of what promised to he an import::nt factor in forwardi 1 g t0chnical education, and encouraging our natural resourc-es nnd m:rnufact1:rts.

I have the honot:r to be, Sir1

Your obedient servant,

R. HENRY WALCOTT, Curator.

\Ve find the exhibition, as a whole, up to tht: level of predous years. The paint~ ing from life is scar{'t·ly up tn the ayerage of Students' exhihitlom:, though the painting of the flf'sh is g(KX1 in a numl.>er of cases.

The dr;Jwing from the antl(]t!t' is good, and the thrtt studies of tlw :\ficha{·] Angdn figurr are full of mt"'rit.

The drawings. from life are rather below the .1verage,

The judgi"s are un::tnimous in the op1nion that the picture entitled "Reronci!Lt~ tlon/' and numbered I., is th(• hest work of the four submitted for ccmpet1tion, and is deserving of the Traveliing Schol<~rsh:p. We <l'lso consider lt supnlor to the prize work of the last competitlon.

SJR, I haY-e the honour :o forward herewith the reports of the Curators of tbe

Zoological and Geological Departments for the year 1905. Tbe most important eYent of the year has been the completion of the new wing

of the Museum buildings on the Russell-stn-et frontage. This provides work and storage rooms on the hag,pm+.:-nt floor, a· l::lrge E-ntrance h,11l on the ground floor, a hall of similar size on the first floor, and -..york·!Dtims for the taxidermist and osteolo· gist on the upper floor.

The hall on the first floor will be devoted to the exhibition of Australian animals, and this1 when complete, will form 1 perhaps 1 tr~ most interesting feature. of the Katural Histon· collection. The removal of the Austrnlian collection -from the tn.flin hall will hoth ~PliPve thE" pr<"seut <'ong;;~ted~ st<tte of this part of the Musemn, and ;tllow of the exhibition of specimE>ns which at present, for lack ofl room, are stored in the basement. A large amount of work has hePn done in prt>paration for the exhibi~ tion of the Australian colle:-tinn. ,,·hkh will he thrown OPf*n to the public at the r:elehratinn of the Jubilee of the Public Library. The remormting an.J proper labt:lUng of spe-:imens wlll st.~H oc-cupy ,'!. o:msiderable .t:me.

In the Geological Department the re-nrungement of the Australa'Sian and foreign mineral col:(':(·tions and the r<:;.-1al:K>lling of the same has 'been a work involving much labour. and ron-siderable progress, has also Uecn made in the arrangement and labelling tJf the pala~:mtological ('Ollection. In hoth cases these colleotions have been dealt with in such a way as to render them of as greilt use and interest to the pnb)ic a~ possible.

28

Through the courtesy of the Hon. the Minister of Mines, and with the cordial co-operation of the Din .. x:tor of the Geological Survey, an arrangement has been made wheceby the type and figure1 specimens described in the Records of the Geological Survey are plared in the Musewn, the latter, :n return, assisting the C':reolo~ical Department by furnishing information :n regard ro fossils submitted to it, and gene­rally affording any assistance in its power to the officers. of the Department.

Through the courtesy of the Hon. the :\Iiuister for Lands, the :.ruseum has been presented with a complete set of the County Maps of Viotoria.

For many years the publica,tion of scientifil: rnemdrs by the ::\fnseum has cea~.ed. This has been a matter of much regret, as it not only meant that the i\Iuseum was fa.iiing to keep abreast of the times, but a]S()J by lack of having publications for. exchange, its Library suffered materially. During the year a fresh start has been made, Dr. A. Smith Woodward, F.R.S., has describe"] a coUect~on of fossil fish from Mansfield, drawings for \vhid: bad been under the d:rection of the late Sir .F. ~fcCov, though no letterpreSs had been written. This forms the first of a series ·which it iS hoped ~to continue from time to time, :ts. funds are avrjlable, under the title ~··Memoirs of the National )fuseum, Melbourne.;) A large number of pJates illustrating rarious examples of the Victorian fauna have for many years been lying unused in the :\iuseum, and t:le necessa1'y descriptive letterpres's is now being prepared with a view .to pubHc:ttlon at an early date.

In conclusion, I desire to pornt m:t thJJ, in Ct){Dpariwn with the corresponding institution in Svdnev, the scientific staff of the ~!useum is C>Xtrerr.elv small and jnade­quate. InSitead of· the se\'en memb.ers comprising tl'.e Sydney st<lJf, i\1eibourne has three. Of these, the P'alreontologist :is ahle to devote the whole of h-is t:me to one particular branch with mcst satisfactory results. On the other hand~ Mr. \Valcott, the Curator of tr..c Geological D.::•p:utment, has not only to take general charge of this, and to dea.l single-handed with ,the Yery large and jmportant mineralogical col­lt"Ctions, bat has a1so to supen·isc f:lc tochnologkal and cthnologk-aJ collections. :\fr. Kershav,.·, the Curator of the Zoological Department, has to deal with .the whole of the zoological collections, rhe ·work assoc-iated with \\·hich is apvortioned in Sydne~· amonw;t six officers, Inst€'ad of }.eing able to devote at J~ast a portion of t!le~r time to research work, i:he whole of it is of necessity occupied by f(,tttlne ·work} and the efficient state of the collections under the charge of :\1 r, Kersha w and Mr. \Va1cot.t is due to their indefatigable work on behalf ·of the Museum.

I have the honour to 1'emain~ &c.,

NATIONAL Ml:SEU~L~REPORT ON THE ZOOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT.

To ilu: Director of the National ~~luseum, SIR,

I have tht: honour ro suhmit the following report dea!!ng with the work of the ZooJogilcal Department for the sear Igos :-

During the year my time has been occupied to a great extent with the identifica­oion and re-!abelling of the coHections, both on exhibition and in the reference collec­tion, together \Yitl: the various spe('lmens rcccived from time to time. The Australasian birrls and mammals in the main :nll were chiefly dealt with, in view of thei'r removal to, and rertrrangement in 1 the new building, now nearing completion. The greater pitrt of this oollection ha,·e now been re-labellerl. :md the specimens re-grouped and remounted on new stands. In seYeral imtances it 'vas found nec.essarv to replxe old and faded specimens with better examples, and it will be advibable .. to continue this with many of our commoner species as opportunity permits.

29

The preparation of the register and card :atalogue of the reference collectiuns of skins, skeletons,, and spirit sp~irnens has been proceeded with~ and, considering the limited time that I haw: been able to devote to this tvork, good progress has been made. During the year nearly 900 specimens have }jt;:,,-·t'n idt:ntified, numbered and emered up.

A good deal of tlrue has been devoted to the entomological collectionsJ and a ;nrge number of specimens previously unnamed have Let!n identified. In ron::Kquence of the continual gruwth of the Australian cuHection, chiefi) by means of donations, the :::;abinets have lx>COme greatly overcrowded, and additional cabinet room is be­coming urgently necessary.

The t.:ollections on exhibition haYe rcx::eived careful attention, and, on the \\h:Yle, are in a satisfactory condition. Owing to the pressure of other work, howcrer1 the larger mammals exposed on the groups han; not reoei,,ed such regular attention as is deFirable.

An unusual number of large marr.rnals were Uon,ated during the year 1 the neces· sary attention to which has occupied much of the time of the articulator and taxider­!lll!:ltS, to the detriment of other 'vork, These include hvo Indian -elephants) kindly presented by the proprietors of Fit.zgcrald Brothers' circus; and both the s!Gins anti complete skeletons -were prese-ryed. A single~hurnped AruLian Camel ::md a two-humped Bactrian Camel, together with an 1ndlan Tap1r1 Cheetah, Banteng, Urial 1 Chacma, two CasS()waries, and an Emu -were, among others 1 receiw:::d from the Zoological and .\(dimatisation Society. Three exceptionally fine examples of the Reticulaten Python, from Singapore, measuring froru ZI to 23 feet in length, togethf'r with a small specimen, about 9 feet ~n lt::ngth, were k~ndly presented by ~lr. P. Ponsolle. Two of the large;;t specimens, togetller -with a complete skeleton, have been carefully mounte:d and placed in .1 sp~iai case in the main hall, where they have attracted considerable attention.

With the obie'ct of gradu~lly replacing m1ny of the old and badly-mounted kan­g•uoos, several of the larger species bave bc:en stuffed and temporarily placed i11 one of the cases in tbe low·er halL Some of the specimens already on exhibition have hoon renovated, preparatory to their remm·al into the htrgf' kangaroo-case no-w in progress. In adclit1on, a limited number of srna!ler mammals have l~ stuffed and ulaced on .e:xhlbition. ~ The preparation of special groups of Victorian birds, with their nests and natural surroundings, has heen continued, and these form most attractive and instructh·e t'xhibits, The :.Uuseum is rm:ch indebted ~o Messrs. C. L. :Barrett, J. Gabrid, and r;., E. Shepherd for their assistance in procuring many of the nests used in theSf' groups.

The more important of the skektons prepared for exhibition hy the articulator wNe the large python alreJ.d~· referred to, and the •:"ast of th€ skeleton of th.e- Tas­mani1an ahoriginal '' Truganini." A number of disarticulated skeletons and skulls have l:,e.en prepared for the referenre C'Olle<::tion, and several of the otd mmmted skeletons cleaned and remounted on new stands.

The skln, spirit and invertehrate collections stored in the basement have been ex'lmined from time to time, and are in good condition. The increased ac'CO!nru00a­ti01l provided in the new building will greatly relieve the over-crowded state of these collectinns, and aJlow of their frequent examination und£>r more fa,·orable t.'Onditions.

Spe:-.irnens submitted for j·dentifirntion, and in(juiries. both personal and by letter, havf' been more nurnerous than 1Isual, whi!e every faci1ity l1as continued to b£' given to students and others to h,we access to t'he collections and book~ not on exhibition.

The number and variety of thi':' donntions received compare f.worably with those of recent vears, and have been dolv identifierl ~nd a('knowledgefL

XATIONAL MUSEUM.-REPORT ON THE GEOLOGICAL, MDIERALOGICAL, AND ETHNOLOGICAL

COLLECTIONS. To 1/Jhc Director vf tlt.c National Museum.

~ational Museum, 15th March, r9o6.

I have the honour to submit the following report for the year 1905 :­

I .-GEOLOGICAL AND MINERALOGICAL COLLECflONS.

~he work of. repai:ing and ma~i'ng cht~t~proof the cases cont;1ining the Aus~ tralastan and foretgn mmeral collections, ,y}uch was commenced the preYious year, has been completed, and also the re-labelling of bOth these collections.

The care constructed for a collection illustrating the oc-currence of gold in Vic­toria, but used for other purp~. pt:mding the completion of the new building, has het.'fl placed in its permanent pos1t100, preparatory to utiHzing it for its original pur~ pose. The foreig:n rocks haYe been arranged according: to the svstem adopted by J. J. Harris Teal!, in his 'WOrk on British petrography. They 'were also reduced somewhat in number, on <R'Count of' the cases being unduly crowded. The Victorian rock collection is not in a Yery satisfa.,::tory condition, Lut it is hoped to remedy this defect during the current year by a general rearrang.tment, and the formation of a separate stratigraphi'cal series. ?\o additions of note were made to either the mineral or rock collect.ions during the ~·ear .. A number of' inquiries were received concerning th~ nature and value of certam mmerals and ores, and the fact that the ~1useum offered such a ready me;uts of obtaining the desired informatk:m seemed to be mUt::h :1\!preciuted. The laboratory provided for in the new building will matetiaHy assist this very useful work.

The systematic arrangement of the palreontologital collections is progressing satis~ f1ctorHy, a:i5d

1 by the time the rest of the gallery set apart for this section is available,

the foreign coJiection for public exhibition wiB 00 well advanced. The type a.nd fit:ured specimens Oescribed in the Records of tbP Geologk;al Survey of Victoria have hcen receh·ed from the Department of Mines. Among the don.itlons for the year were a number of vaiuable and interesting specimens) for wh:ch we are particu]arlv in~ debted to the liberaEty of ~lessrs. D. Carson, J. H. Gatliff, R. Hughes, A. E. Kitson, F.G.S., J. D. ~lahony, B.Sc., J. Reed, A. J. Shearsbv, Gro. Sweet, F.G.S., Thos. Warr1 and Rev. R. Thorn.

The report of the Palreontologist, detailing the ~ear's work, is herewith attached.

z.··-ETHNOLOGICAL CoLLECTION.

No work of any importance has to be reported in oonnexion ""·ith this section. Verv little trouble is now experienced in dealing with insect pests, which at one time cauSed a •:onsiderable amount of destruction.

Of the accessions1 the collection of over 40 inlaid i>owis and omaments from the Solomon Islands: purchased from )!r. Carl Pinochof, is the most noteworthy; and is a decided ucquisition.r more especially as it includes a large food vessel not easily procurable. Mr. Atlee Huntr bes!des donating some interesting specimens from New Guinea, placed on loan an elaborate compound heod·dress. From Mr. M. R. Cud­mnre we m~ived a number of Australian stone implements, which, wi~h those pre~ viously presented by him, form a valuable addition to the collection. To him, and also to :Hessrs. A. R. ~lcCrae and J. G. Gray. our thanks are due for the trouble and expense they ha,'e taken upon thernsel;'ffl in _obtaining and forwarding specimens, and it is a pleasure to place on record theu servu::es to the Yluseum.

The Police Department has given every facility for securing any aboriginal :skeletons which mav have come under their notice~ and in this way, with the sanction of the various CorOners, we have added materially to our collec.tiol:t.

I have the honour to be. SiD, Your obedient servant,

R. HENRY WALCOTT, Curator of the Geological, Mineralogical, and Ethnological Collections.

XAT!OXAL MlSEUM.-REPORT OF THE PALJEOXTOLOGJST.

To t!tc Curator tJf the Geological and Mi1~ertJlogical Collections.

X ational .Museum, x9th February, 1go6.

SIR,

ha\·e the honour to submit t;1e subjo:ned report for the ;.ear j905 :-

FellmYing the work of completing the exhibition series crf Australasian fossils, so far as they could be shown in the space avaibble~ the whole of the resen·e series ·Hl.S put into gt'neral order and classified ao::ordinrg to age. This series is now con· tained in 5e\'enteen preRses. An e:x<:hange collection of Australian fossils has aJso ~n formedt togeth<:r with one for reference purposes. The latter collection will be of greJJt servic't to \\Orkers jn Palreuntology 1 and additions to it are being constantly made. The syecimens tomprising th~:: Yaluable referenre ~ri.t..-s of the 1\latgillivray ;md ~laplestont: ty~s of Victorian Polyzoa han_• been sorted_ and arranged, and they are now partly indexed in the T~\ pe Catalogue. I have nearl: c-ompleted :t card Cata­lo~ue of Types and Figured Specimens of Fussi'ls :n the )Juseum; and another cata~ logue, showing the localities of the Geological Sun·ey indices marked on the quarterM sheets of the SurYey.

I have {:ommenr-.ed work upon what will e\·entually be u represent:lti,·e collection of for(:ign fossils from all formatiuns 1 whi'ch will afford useful material for corn· 1:ar:son with our own Aus:ralian fossH fauna and flora.

Another colh:ction in hand is a series of fossiJs and de-scriptive labels, giving the Katurai History of a Fossil. This collection, it is hoped, will sti'mulate an interest in Palroontology amongst nature students. ~md also serq~ as a means of introducing the su'Jject to the ordinary }Iuseum visitor.

The numLer of specimens registered from my identification," during the yenr 1905 w:•.., 252, the small number i>eing accounted for by the fact of the registration work I:M...ing held oYer for other of a more prPssing kind.

During the ye::r a large and interesting series of fossils has been coHPCkd from tbe se\-eral cuttings in Silurian strata, near the Botanical Gardens. and this \\ill use~ fully supplement other colleo'tions from the s:tm.:- source, to form the basis of descrip~ th·e papers on the undescribed fossils nf our Silurian bedS~,, upon \Vhkb 1 haYe been .._•ngaged for some time.

Tfie numi::x:r of fosslls det<?-rmim:d for the publi-c during the year was 385. }I:tny of the more interesting of ther.e specimens were presented to the Museum.

I have published during the past year the following papers, descriptive of mate­r1aJ in the :\Iuseum :-
