AI M An n Report 1881 to 1882

THE Counci l have the pleasure of submitting to the Members the ordinary Annual Report on the financial and geneml condition of the Society.

MEMBERs.- The number of Members elected during the past year has been 48. In the previous year th e num ber of elections was 30. On the o~her hand, 23 names have been withdrawn from th e roll; 3 from death, 7 by resignation, and T 3 by default of subscription. The net increase is thus 25; the total number on tile roll at the present ti me being 302.

FrNANCEs.-The total revenue for the year (as shewn by the annexed balance-sheet) has been £513 IS. 5d. Of this sum £332 q s. has been contributed by the members' subscriptions. Last year the amount under this head was £282 6s. The expenditure reaches the sum of £503 os. 4d ., leaving a credit balance of £10 IS. Id. There are, however, outstanding accounts to the amount of over £40 remain ing to be liquidated, so that th e year's operations wi ll eventually shew a small deficit.

l\IEETlNGs.-The monthly meetings for the reading of papers have been held as usual, and were fa irl y attended. The follow ing is the list of the papers read :- -

Most of the above will appear in the 14th volume of the" Transactions "-now in the press.

MusEuM.-The number of visitors to the Museum continues to increase in a steady ratio, but as the great majority of those who en ter do not sign the visitors' book, it is impossible to give any accurate statistics on this point. The number of additions received Juring the past year has been large, as will be seen from the li st appended to the Report. Those of special interest will be briefly alluded to here.

VERTEBRATA.- -The most importan: addition in this class is an extensive series of birds and mammals, European and exotic, received in exchange from the Imperial Museum ot Natu ral History at Florence, and including altogether 392 skins. Most of these have

1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIq., w,jllllIlIlIl

been specially selected to fill up blanks in the type collection of V ertebra tes rhat is gradually being form ed for the Museum, as funds will allow. A n interesting exchange has also arrived from Dr. Gamier, of Ontario, Canada, comprising specimens of North American birds and rept iles, togeth er with a few mammals. Mention should also be made of a nice collection of Humming Birds, kindly presented by the well-knowll ornithologist, Dr. Finsch. Thanks are also du e to Mr. E. A. Plumley for some valuable New Zealand birdskins. The Counci l regret that th ey have only been able to retain the services of a taxidermist for a portion of the year, his work being confined to remounting and adding fresh specimens to the collect ion of New Zealand birds.

I NVERTEBRATA.-A considerable number of small additions has been received, but nothing calling for special mention .

GEOLOGY AND PALEONTOLOGy.-Advantage was taken of the recen t visit to Auckland of P rofessor H. A. Ward, of Rochester, to obtain for the Museum a set of the more valuable of his instructive casts of fossil s. The casts have lately a rr ived from N ew York, and th e greater portion have just been placed in the Museum.

ETHKOLOGY.-The only add ition of importance in this department is a valuable collection of specimens from the Swiss Lake dwellings, kindly presented by Mr. J. T. Mackelvie, of London, who has been such a constant and li beral contributor to th e Museum for many years

ART D EPARTMENT.- The Free School of Art established by Dr. Campbell has been regularl y kept up, and, as in past years, a t his ,ole expense. The Council trust that hi s continued an d ever re"dy liberal ity may be th e means of establ ishing a real and solid know. ledge of Art in A uckland. In this p lace th e Council have great and sincere pleasure in drawing Ihe attention of th e members to the two magnificent paintings--now within the ~luseum-presented to the citizens of Auckland by Mr. J. T . 1I1ackelvie. The first is Maclise's grand picture" The Spirit of J ustice," being the original design for his fresco of that name in th e House of Lords. The uth er is by Baron 'l'iesenilansen, an eminent German artist. 'That two p ictures of such undoubted excellence have been permanently secured for Auckland is indeed a most fortunate circumstance, and it is difficult to estimate th e advantages to art students a nd others that will result from Mr. Mackelvie's generous and thoughtful action. It shou ld be mentioned that Mr. Mackelvie reserves to himsel f the right of removing the pictures from their present home if at some future time a bu ilding more especially devoted to Art and Antiquit ies should be erected in Auckland.

CHECKS TO THE PROGRESS OF THE MUSEUM.-The present tim e seems to be favourable for pointing out the many serious and growing

111111111111111111111 _' ... 01'1111 1111 1

'I

1I 11',

I'


disadvantages under which the Museum is placed in consequence ot the want of any regular income heyond the small amount that can be spared from the slend er funds of the Institute. Great inconvenience is experienced from the absence of suitable cases and other fittin gs, not only for the exhibition of the collections to the public, but for the safe storage of specimens received in exchange and waiting the taxidermist's manipulations, etc. Accommodation is also required for the packing. sorting, and temporary storage of specimens collected here for exchange with other Museums. A large proportion of the collections is yet exhibited in cases formerly in the old Museum, most of which are quite unsuited for the purpose, and occupy a considerable amount of space while showing very few articles. With the exception of the new cases erected during the last two or three ye2rs, and for which the Museum is indebted to the kindn ess of a few gentlemen, the whole of the fittings require alteration or renovation, and until this is done it is hopeless to think of a proper arrangement of toe collections. Another serious matter is the slow growth of the New Zealand portion of the collections. In the Natural History department of any Museum the primary object sl1(>uld be to obtai n, and to exh ibit to the public in as full a manner as possible, a complete series of the natural production of the country or distri ct in which it is situated. But with the exception of the Birds and Shells, small progress has been made in this direction here. To mention the Fishes, where it is highly important that there should be a good named collection, especially of the edible species, the cost of stuffing the larger varieties, and the expense of the glass jars and spirits required for the exhibition of the smaller ones, has effectually prevented any advance from being made. Hardly anything has heen done towards forming a collection of N ew Zealand Insects, and this is altogether due to the want of cabinets for their reception, for several collectors would gladly assist if a reasonable prospect existed of their specimens being placed in safety. Again, the cost of glass jars and other requisites has prevented any attention to the whole of the marine invertebrata, with th e exception of the shells, while the collection of New Zea land rocks and minerals, which should be one of the most important in the Museum, can onl y be partially exhibi[ed at present, and is hardly being added to at al l.

ENDowMENT.-A suitable endowment for the Mus~um is the obvious remedy for the di sadvantages described above, and the Councii have urgently pressed this upon the notice of Government. Early in the year the H on. the Minister of Lands was addressed on th e question, and engaged to bring it under the notice of his colleagues. Prior to the session of Parliament, a c ircular was forwarded to the Auckland members explaining the position of the Museum, and asking for th eir active assistance. Unfortunately the members differed as to the proper mode of bringing the matter

1I Illpll 11111111 1111 "' w'llIlIjllIlI

l~

I AIM Ann Report I 1 881 to 1882

under the notice of Parliament, and much valuable time was lost. Ultimately the Government admitted the justice of the claim, and introduced a Bill to provide for a landed endowment of the capital value of £ro,ooo. It is with great regret that the Council have to state that, owing to the late period at which : tl]e :Bill was brought forward, it was found impossible to pass it through the House in time, and it consequently lapsed. The Council :trust that better success may attend their endeavours during the next session of Parliament.

LIBRARv.-During the year a catalogue of the Library has been compiled and printed, and is now l'eady for distribution to the members. The usual grant under the Public Libraries Subsidies Act not having been voted by Parliament, the Council have been unable to make any addition of importance to ' the Library themselves. They have, however, to express their indebtedness to Mr. J. T. Mackelvie for a most welcome and appropriate donation of r04 volumes relating to the early history of the colony. Mr. Mackelvie could hardly have forwarded a more useful addition, or one more likely to prove permanently valuable.

CONCLUsION.-In conclusion the Council have to tender the thanks of the Institute to the numerous donors to the Museum "nd Library not mentioned in the body of the report. They also wish to draw attention to the continued kind services of Messrs. 'V. K. Graham and Co and Mr. Hugh Craig, as agents of the Institute in London and San Francisco respectively. Thanks are also due, as in many previous years, to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, the New Zealand Shipping Company, Messrs. Shaw, Saville and Co., and other firms and establishments, for kindly carrying free all packages intended for the Museum.
