I have to report that the po:;ltion of the ;\lu!;leum lu~s undergone no change since the time of my la~-;t report for the year 19081 ::ond ~onscqnently, beyond cxpressin,g my great regret t.hnt the collect.tons, for which numerous inqnirics lmve lmcu ma1le, shollld be stored in an inacce:.sihlc plu.ec without nny immediate hope of their proper exhibition, little remaiuii to he sa.itl.
The limber cxhilJit le11t io the Department of State Forests for exhibition ut the Franco-British Exllibition wo.s returned ~11.fe!y.
As might havo been expGeted, the donations to tiH:> :\fuscum have fallen off from y<'ar to year, until now they are prnctieally reJnc<~d to <L fcnv .Au:;:tralia.u ~·Hate publications. It is unfair t() intending douoes to aecept the offer of ~ift.; which would have to be eoH~ signet! int!cfiuitoly to the nmlt."l. For the 1m-me reason uo efforts have been mu.de to secure new t-xhibit.s.

1 have t.he honour to subruit the following Report dealiug with the Zoologicrd Depnrtment for the year 190D :-
The condition of the collec~ions dnring the year ln1s been excellent., and in no case l11ts spe~ial treatment been occasioned Ly tltc presence ol' the Vermes lid, or moth hnre. The mmal sy~temat.ic examinrttion of th:J :-;peeimens hu.:-; becu rig-i\lly n\lheretl to, awl to tbis is attl'ihnted their present ~atis!'actory stale.
As un extrn pmc,wtiou, a speci~t disinfectiug chamber hnR been e,m:-:;tructetl, in "hich the larger animal~ may be q uaranr.inetl.
Owing to the stendily i11Creasin:.!: amount of \Vc,rk rcqnircrl of the taxitlenni:-:;t:-:;~ 1 found it neeef:mrv to withdraw A~si:;i:-mt-TaxitlenniM F. ,Y. llaillie from the nRnu.l u!tcation to !lw la;·gc rnamiwd !.!roups, and arrangetl fo1· t.IH~ work to b~ carriell on by Attendant E Thompson, who has givuu every satL..;fnctiou.
Some rmxiety wns occasioned dnring the year owing lo dampness making iL~ appcn,mul'c in the fixell wall~cuseH in tbe basement. lt. 1\'::J.S found necessary to detaeh the cases from the wall, ltnd since this has been done no recnrreuec of tho trouble has been observed.
The additions to the series of disarticulated skeletons, nsed for pmposes of reference, h'l.ve necossitntccl a complete re-:1rrangement, nwl further :wcommoda.tion bad to be provided. The same applies t.o t.he reference col!Eetions of mommals Hnd birds. Regn.rdiug the former, 1lw whole of the available space iu rhe reference room nnd corridor is now full~· occupied, and it will be nece:::t<afy to fil np the store-room on the top floor, which wilt provide ~pace for futnre ad1iit.ions for t:!omc year8 This can be done with little expense by utilizing the ma!crial from the obsolete wall-cases removed from the old Mnscum.
The Tuxiderrni:..;ts :tnll Articulator have been fully oc('npied during the year in preparing the various speei:nens received. TLe most important 0f this work has been the moml!ing of tli-:: complete ~keleton aud half of t.he skin of the racehorse ~~ Redlc·1p," presented to the t\lnseum during lhe previous year by ::\h. Alhert ::\fillm·. The prepamtion of this specimen, which has nccessilatPd special cnrc, hos occupied a eonsiderfLhle t.ime. lt. will Le r(·ady for exhibition tltuing the present. month.
ln addition to 11 number of birds mounted, considerable progrPss lta.'l been mad:; with the re-grollpi:Jg. Through t.ho kintl co-operation of sevcrul dcmors, n, number of nests, not hcfnre rcpre:-cutod, have been added to tho exhibited 8erie:;.
Two nJditiutlal special cn!!es have heeu cottstt·ucte,l, one to contain t.hc .South Amcricau Hbcas, a,nd !he other a group of Emns wit!J tlte ues.t an1l eggs. Thc::::e m:;ke vn,lunLlc anJ :dtrn.ctive addilions lo the cnllection. --
ln view of the frequent. inqnirics regarding the enl.omologieal eolleclion, it l1as been clccidcd to n,rrange a collec1 iun of Anstra.h1.8iun insects in the gallery of llw Australasian h;.ll. This will embrace reprc.:.entatives of all the orders, together with a seric:> illubtrating the life hi~tories of certuin groups. A selection of specimens is now being made.

NATIONAL MUSEUM.-REPORT ON THE GEOLOGICAL, MINERALOGICAL, AND ETHNOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS.
To the Direr:t(Jr aj tl~oe ,~._Vational ,J,lfuseum.. Nationul Museum,
5th M•reh, 19\0.
I l1ave the honoue t.o ~nhmit tbc Annnal Report on tbe above sections for the year 1909 :-
In continunnco of the ext.en:oion of t.hc Reference Mineral Collections, the :foreign section received att.ent.ion, and the v.ccom:morln.tion now provided for it sbonld snfftee for mnny years to comeJ as it is not likely to Le eniarged to nny great. extent..
The orders for minerals plaeed with F. Krantz, of Bonn, and the Foote JtfinHal Co., Philadelphia, were duly executed during the :yenr These minerals included lOO speciefl and variel-ies unrepresentetl in our cullections~ and forrned the largest accession in 1his respect for a very consillera.ble time back. The spnce given to the exhibition off3reign minerals iR utilized to its nt.mollt. capacity, and it was only by removing Bpecim··n~i that room was made for even part of the new ones. The balance had to be placed iu the Reference Collection. We were fortunate enough to secure as a gift from }·fr. Wm. Fitzpatrlck, of Comalln. Station, through Mr . • ]. J. Falconer~ a large portion of a meteorite from the Barn.tta Station, 35 mites N. ,V, of Deniliquin, N.S. \V. In the first instance we were indebted to Mr, A. R. MeCrae, of "''crai Station, for informing us of the existence of the specimen, and the kintlly offer of his services in the matter. In 1905, .Mr. McCrae wa.a good enongh to prcse11t to us another piece from Baratta Station, both apparently fragments of a pareut meteorite. They seem to be simila.r in ch(ID},cter to the t.hrce speciment; recorded and descdbnd as BaraHa Meteorites, Nos. l. 2, nutl 3, from the same loca.lity.
Tbe New Zealand Government Depart.ment of Tourist nnd Hualtb Resorts generously consentf'd to present seven photographic enlargements of ccriuin iuteresting features of the Hot Lakes and other di&tricts of tLe DominionJ to help to complete the series illusrrnting atructura) and phenomenal geology.
In atltlition to these, enlargements of the >i Natural Pavement/' Ea.glehawk Neck, and the basalt columns of Ca.pe Raoul, Tasmania, were obtained, besides several others from elsewhere.
In December last, while on an official visit to Terang, I took tbe opportunity at the request of ::\fr. H. Quiney, of lfortlakej who has most llSsiJuously interested himself on onr behalf, of visiting an exposure of ripple-mnrkcJ f:-auJ.stone at Salt Creek, near Woorndoo~ fM the purpose of selecting Hpceimens for the Mnseum, :!\fr. Quiney most kindly having voluntarily offered to personally arnmge for their removal to Melbourne. We are Jn many ways under gr£>:tt obHgations to Mr. Qniney for his eoniitattt. readiness to assist ns in every poasible way.
Tbe palreontologieal section has been enriched by &. la.rge number of specimeus, and a.mong Hte p1trchasell may be noted a model of the primitive. toothed whale (Prozeu.glodon), and a collection of 401 specimens of Victorian Siluriau fossils.
The Palreontologist~ ~fr . .F. CIHtpman, reportR as follows :-~-
"The examination of the richly fossiliferous clays, marls and limestones from the hores in the Kow Pla.ins hns occupied a considera.hlo part of my time during the ye!U'. The sorting of the material and the preliminary identifieatlon of specimens is, however, now nearly completed. This work has been facilitated by having the advantage of the use or the Dennn.nt Collection of Tort.iary Fosllils for purposes of comparison. The resnhs of these lwrings have greutly enrk·ht...J our eoUeetion of Tertiary inve,·telJrate remaius; and 1 further, a unique oppor! ltHity lws be:en affi•nlt-d for )~:aruin~ tl1e nawre and relationship of th~ bcdB beneath the \Vimmcra, as w·oH a:s pun·ing tbe extension of the water-bea.ring strata at ren.sona.ble Jepth~ in tbe Murray Hiver area,
Permanent labels are being prepared fol' 1be series of l'oreigu Typical Fo5.sils, now approachillg completion. .Numcron8 atlditioni.>i to the ca~eri ,;f cxhihiretl fossils ha,·e been mnUe, of specimen;;:., drawings and legends. ~very opportuuity has heen taken to render the collections more onsily studied and understood by r.hc gcnerul visitor~ in the absence of a hat dbook or gnidu.
The number of foss.Bs registered from my JetcrtninationB was 63, the total now being 10,366. :Many other specimens were dctermiucd aud await registration.
Fossil specimens have hee.u submitted hy the public for determination from time to time. They amounted tO 47 4 examples. Many of these, o.nd1 ln fact, the more im~ portant, have heen prcecntetl to the coHectious. It is noteworthy thllt so!lle of the most snccessful coHectors of thc.sc fossils are :;cholar~ and members of nature-studv classef., One o~ the mote interesting of the donaticms is a block of limestone from "'Batesford which I procured during my vacation~ containing about 25 sharks' teeth of extinct species, given by Mr. "'"· B. 7vfcCa.nu. A valuable aerie.e of Devonian and other fof:!sils fi'om tbo :FalklanJ ~siands has been l>cceivcJ ill exehangc.

}'or the Department of :\1ine5 I ha\'f' examined numer;;n!'. coHeetiona of fossiliferous slilteS and limer!tonesj and have written a report dealing with 75 specimens of On)ovieian fossils, mtlinly erustucen, from Hepb11rn nnd Mnrongt for publit·ntion in 1he records of rhe Geological Kurvey. I bave aho p~epnred a short nceount of the relationship of I he Tasmanian .Jurassic coal~hearing bells with those of Victoria.
Fot• the }~isheries Department I have exumined the tlrst s11mple of a series of d(>ep .. sr·a dretlgine;s, and furnished a systematic report to that office.
A short monograph ou some fossils from f,he Tertiary limestone of King Island~ collected by Mr .• J. A. Kers!1n.w, was written Juring the year, and will be puhb1hcd in n forthcoming Memoir of the :\fuscum,
I have also had the pridlege of examining the interesting fornmillifcr:ll Uero"it from a raised honeb abo\·c the Drygalski Glacier in t.he Aularrtic, brongl1t haek hy Pro~ fessor T. W, E. Davhl, l•'.R.S. A report for publicution will he wrltteu on this material.
I have published the following palreontofogi(.'al pl'lptus <m 1fuscum rnnteriuJ during the year 1909 :-

in 1907, ·Mr. Kenyon him~elf has continued his gootl offices in forwarding the interests of LlleM.useum at every opportunity, an.! we are indebted to him Ior mueh maleria) co1-lccLod.by him personally with considerable trouble.
J:!""urther lots of our aboriginal cmnia, a:o arra.nge1l during d1e J·revious y<'a.r, were lout to Professor Ben·y, ill) well ns t-l1e whole of the aboriginal femora, for scientific rcsea.rcl1.
During November I vi~ited the Allenda)c dis.t.rict, near Ba.Har!lt1 fol' the purpose of searchin'o! in the auriferous gravels for cvideuce of ma.u's :tutiquity in Australia, l1ut met with no success. From there I went to Warrnarnboo1 to im.pect a reported occurrence of humatl footprin1s. Tbese proved on et<tmination lo be animal footprint-8 in volcnnJc tnl:f, but\ unfor!Uiuttely, 1.ot of matL The identily of !he animal whichmtule themjsnot evident, but 1hc matter has nol. yet received ca.r(:'ful investigation.
In Decmnber we commenced operations at PejMk 1.1arsh, n<:nr Temng, with the hope of discovering some furt.her implements or flthcr evidences of the pn.senec of man~ under the volcanic tuff. Mr . .A. J. Merry, who had formerly found an i111plcment while exca,•ating the trench fi.n· u. culvert where the Pejark drain crossed the .:\h Noora.t-roatl, was eogngetl to do the work, but we were uusu(~ce~sful in our sear~:h, it8 far us- imple~ ments were conceruetl. IJoweYer, the labour and ttme CX}Jended were not \'l·a~led, \or information of an intere~tillg .uature waa e.seertained, which, it is hoped, will later he utilized iu a pubHeation on tlw antiquity of mnn in Au~tralia..
