SECRETARY TO THE COMMITTEE William Wright < REPORT, PRESENTED TO THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY, February Qtk , 1827. In the review of the Society’s proceedings during the past year, which it is the duty of the Council to lay before the Annual Meeting, they are led by the documents which they now produce, to remark, in the first place, upon the number and value of the acquisitions which the Society has made, compared with the expenditure of its funds. It will be remembered that, in the last report of the Trea¬ surer, there remained, on the general summary of the accounts, a balance of Eighty-one Pounds against the Society ; and though, to meet this balance struck on the thirty-first of December, the subscriptions due in the following January were available, and the debt might so far be considered as little more than nominal, it yet appeared to the Council indis¬ pensably necessary to guard against any further anticipation of the Society’s resources. B 10 REPORT, With this view, a Committee was appointed at the com¬ mencement of 1826, to examine the accounts, and to estimate the probable demands of the ensuing twelvemonth, and the means of defraying them which the Society might be cal¬ culated to possess. The regulations recommended by the Committee were adopted ; and the result has been, that the expenditure of the year has fallen somewhat within the receipts. The limitations of purchase, to which it has been necessary to adhere, have put to the test the reliance which may be placed upon the principle of gratuitous contribution. To this principle it was determined to trust altogether, except so far as regarded the payment for books already subscribed for ; and yet the Council have the pleasure of presenting a long list of additions both to the Library and the Museum. By the returns of the Curators, it appears that one thousand six hundred geological specimens, one hundred and twenty- eight minerals, and seventy-nine specimens in natural history, have been contributed since February last ; the number of coins and other objects of antiquarian research has amounted to ninety-seven, and no fewer than two hundred volumes have been added to the Society’s shelves. That, in the fifth year from its institution, the Society should have such obligations to acknowledge, is a just subject of congratulation; since the support which it enjoys cannot now be suspected to be of an accidental or temporary nature. REPORT. 11 In the course of four years, there have been accumulated in this provincial collection, nine thousand one hundred and eighty-three specimens in the departments of Geology and Mineralogy alone, of which eight thousand two hun¬ dred and two have been donations. A Museum thus sup¬ ported cannot fail to rise into importance ; and this kind of support an institution may usually expect, which shows itself careful in preserving the objects of science entrusted to its keeping, and capable of turning them to account. The condition, which those who contribute such objects to a public institution arc entitled to demand, is, that they shall be made more instructive than they could have been in private hands ; a condition too often very little attended to, or, from a want of regular arrangement, very imperfectly fulfilled. It has always been kept in view by this Society ; and the order which has been, from the first, observed in entering donations on the inventories of the Museum, and classing them on its shelves, has saved it from the embarrass¬ ment of an useless heap of undistinguished specimens. The Council have the satisfaction of adding, that the appointment made in the beginning of the year, which secured to the Institution the valuable services of Mr. Phillips, has enabled them to realize still more completely their wishes in this respect, and to render the Society’s collection much more accessible and instructive. But though, where a spirit of liberal contribution exists, a Society, which has obtained the confidence of the public, may b 2 \2 REPORT. fulfil many of its objects with very limited funds, it is obvious that all its efficiency must be lost, if its finances should ever fall short of allowing it to do justice to that liberality. During the past year, the donations received have been dis¬ posed of, indeed, without disorder and with very little expense ; but this has been effected only by economical con¬ trivances, which cannot long continue to avail • and the Meet¬ ing must be reminded that half the salary of the Keeper of the Museum has been paid by private subscription. By the same method it will be again defrayed for the present year ; but the renewal of the subscription cannot be counted upon for a longer period. The Meeting will also see, on reference to the Treasurer’s report, that the income of the last year only rose to a level with the necessary expenses, by including the sums paid on admission by nine new members. It is therefore apparent that the Society cannot maintain itself in its present state of efficiency, without either a considerable addition to its numbers, or some advance of its subscriptions. The Council are fully aware that no greater error can be committed, in an association for the advancement of know¬ ledge, than to fix its terras too high; and they have been unwilling to propose any advance, while it remains uncertain what the number of members may ultimately be. In the mean time, they would venture to suggest to all who feel an interest in the Society, that one of the most important methods by which they can befriend it, is to exert their personal influence in enlarging the list of its subscribers. REPORT. 13 The inventories or lists of donations laid before these meetings, can only imperfectly represent the value of the contributions described in them. Hereafter, it may be hoped that, by publishing a Catalogue raisonne of what it pos¬ sesses, the Society may at once give a more adequate account of its obligations, and render an important service to science. At present, a brief survey of the most material features in the contributions of the last year, may not be unacceptable to the Meeting. Among the Geological donations, is included a large accession of the remains of antediluvian quadrupeds from the coast of Norfolk, and from the caves at Banwell and Tor-Bay. Those from Tor-Bay were accompanied by an interesting communication from the donor,1 who, having placed a similar collection in the hands of M. Cuvier, had obtained his opinion respecting them. That eminent naturalist found one of the specimens, a cast of which is in the Society’s Museum, to be the canine tooth of that species of Bear, which he has named Ursus cultridens; an animal of which no remains had been previously known, except a specimen of an entire skull, found in the Yal d’Arno, and deposited in the Museum at Florence. The similarity of fracture which prevails in the bones found in this cave, is noticed by Mr. M‘Enery; and the marks of teeth upon them are particularly remarked by M. Cuvier, who states that these may be more distinctly traced in the English specimens, than in any other which he has seen. 1 The Rev. John M‘Enery. 14 REPORT. Three hundred rock specimens from the Harz, accom¬ panied by a German catalogue, which has been translated by one of the members of the Society, 1 constitute the fourth liberal donation for which the Museum is indebted to Mr. Heiiland ; and one hundred and fifty species of corallines and shells, from the ccilcaire grossier of Grignon, have been presented to the foreign collection by Mr. Tasburgh. \ Several interesting specimens have been added 2 to those formerly sent from the mountain limestone of Northumber¬ land, which show that some of the generalizations in which geologists have indulged, respecting the distribution of fossils; are premature. This addition includes, besides patellae and echinal spines, a saurian vertebra, and an impression of a fern analogous to those which occur in the coal-measures. The donor has communicated his observations on the rocks from which these fossils are derived ; and, in correction of a * • common geological error, states that coal of a good quality, and in great abundance, occurs in the lower part of the limestone series. i ' Numerous shells have been contributed from the crag of Norfolk and Suffolk,3 and some beautiful crinoidal fossils from the oolite of Gloucestershire. 4 There has also been placed in the Society’s cabinets a specimen of the head of the 1 The Rev. J. Kenrick. 2 By the Rev. C. V. Vernon. 3 By the Rev. T. H. Croft and Mr. Sparshall, 4 By the Countess of Denbigh. REPORT. 15 Crocodile, from the lias at Whitby,1 which has been for some time in the hands of Mr. Conybeare, who has cleared away the matrix, and developed the bones. A similar improvement has been bestowed on a portion of the lower jaw of the same animal from the coralline oolite of Malton,3 by another eminent Member of the Society, 3 whose masterly chisel sometimes leaves the works of Art, to lend its aid to Science. » The Yorkshire collection has also been enriched by an extensive suite of fossils, 4 containing some new crustaceous kinds, from the grey shale near the base of Scarbro’ Cliff, which Mr. Smith has identified with the Oxford Clay ; and a series has been placed in the Museum, 5 illustrative of the course of the strata from the Humber to Northallerton, and including characteristic specimens from the Kimmeridge clay, the Kelloways rock, the inferior oolite, and the lias. But the most valuable geological present which the Society has received, is a map of the north-eastern part of York¬ shire, in which Mr. Smith has laid down with accuracy his recent discoveries. He has, at the same time, announced his expectation of completing, in a short time, his description of the whole county, on the excellent sheets lately published by Mr. Cary ; and proposes to accompany his map with a work comprising a detail of the numerous observations on which 1 Presented by Mr. Bird. 2 Presented by Mr. Pickering. 3 F. Chantrey, Esq. F.R.S. & R.A. 4 Presented by Mr. Dunn and Mr. Bean. 0 By the President and Mr, Phillips. 16 REPORT. the colouring is founded. The Council cannot forbear from expressing a strong hope, that this work will be patronized by liberal subscriptions, and afford the author some remunera¬ tion for a long life of successful, but ill rewarded, labour in the service of science. The Literary and Philosophical Society of Whitby having presented an interesting specimen of the paddle-bones of the Plesiosaurus, the Council have sent in return a cast of the lower jaw of that animal ; and it is their intention to have a series of casts made from the best fossil specimens in the Museum, for the purpose of exchange with other Institu¬ tions. An acknowledgment has been received from the Asiatic Society, of the series of Yorkshire fossils not long since sent to Calcutta ; and, at the request of a distinguished scientific foreigner, 1 who visited the Institution in the last summer, a similar series has been forwarded to the Museum of \ Natural History at Geneva. Count Sternberg has communi¬ cated to the Society, the names which he proposes to assign to the fossil plants which the Council had sent to the Museum at Prague ; and adds, as the result of his examination of them, that “the inferior oolite of Saltwick2 includes genera of plants belonging both to the tertiary and secondary flcetz formations ; and that it may be consequently considered as on the line of transition of two epochs of vegetation, either of them, however, more ancient than the lignites, where the dicotyledonous plants begin to be observed.” 3 1 Professor de la Rive. 2 Near "Whitby. 8 Remains of dicotyledonous plants occur in the lias ; but no specimens of this kind were among those transmitted to Count Sternberg, which were from intermediate beds between the oolite and lias. REPORT. 17 The Mineralogical donations have been less numerous than in the preceding year ; but among them are some specimens of uncommon excellence and value. In • this department, some new analytical notices have been com¬ municated to the Society ; among the most interesting of which, are the discovery 1 of the oxide of chrome in the orange-coloured phosphate of lead, and the analysis 2 of a mineral water which occurs in this county, containing a large proportion of carbonate of soda. All the minerals in the collection have been accurately examined and classed by the Curators, assisted by the Keeper of the Museum ; and a catalogue, in which they are described, and their crystalline characters marked, has been completed, with a care and industry, for which the Society has reason to be grateful. It gives the Council pleasure to remark, that more attention has been shown to some of the other branches of Natural History, than they formerly obtained. Several objects of interest in Zoology and Comparative Anatomy have been contributed, illustrating the external characters, and structure of the skeleton, in some remarkable species of quadrupeds, reptiles, and fishes. Thirty-eight specimens have been added to the collection of birds. And though, in the entomological department, but few donations have, of late, been received, the Curator reports, that those which are already in the Museum have been the means of drawing the attention of many persons to the subject, who have begun to collect 1 By the President. 2 By Mr. E. S. George, F.L.S. 18 REPORT, Insects, and will doubtless be well disposed to enrich the repository which first gave them a taste for the pursuit. Anxious for the promotion of these studies, the Council have engaged Mr. Phillips to deliver a course of lectures on a part of natural history, which is less generally known than the rest, but not less wonderful and instructive. An account of the Invertebral Animals, illustrated by original drawings, c and collected in great measure from personal observation, cannot fail to interest those who delight in contemplating the varied forms and admirable contrivances of creation. In the intervals, or at the conclusion, of this course, two lectures on Electro-Magnetism will be given by one of the honorary members of the Society, 1 whose name alone would be sufficient to attract an audience, if the subject, on which Mr. Scoresby has offered to lecture, were not itself, from the new and important field of investigation which it opens, the most inviting, at the present moment, of any in the whole range of experimental philosophy. Whilst the Museum has been enriched with specimens, the Library has received a more than ordinary number of volumes, many of which will be of great utility as books of reference. Among these, the Lexicon of Rasche is a very valuable present to the antiquarian student ; but still more valuable is the offer which has been made by the donor of the work and Curator of this department, to give his 1 The Rev* W. Scoresby, F.R.S, L, & E. REPORT. 19 attendance weekly, at a stated hour, in order to afford opportunities to members for inspecting that part of the Society’s collection, which must necessarily be locked up in the drawers of a cabinet.1 9 Over one record of friendly feeling, 2 which the list of i Antiquarian donations presents, the Council cannot pass, without changing the language of congratulation into that of condolence. When the Curator of Antiquities was deprived of his lamented Colleague, the Council had to deplore a valued coadjutor," and the Society lost a zealous and a useful friend. — The acquisitions in this branch of knowledge, though not numerous, include some objects worthy of the notice of the Meeting. Among these are, the medal of Cranmer, presented by the Archbishop of York, the monastic anti¬ quities received from the author of the History of Hallam- shire,3 and a donation from Mr. Dalton, in a peculiar degree interesting to this Society, the ancient Seal of St. Mary’s Abbey. It is impossible that the Council should advert to the interest attending the remains of St. Mary’s Abbey, without feeling that an explanation is due to the Meeting, of the delay which has taken place in executing the design connected with those venerable ruins. In the spring of last year, Lord 1 The Curator proposes to attend at the Museum for this purpose, every Wednesday, from one to two o'clock, except during the autumn vacation. 2 Coins and Antiquities presented by Mrs. Drake. 3 The Rev.

Grantham having signified to the Crown his willingness to resign a portion of the Manor Shore in favour of the Society, and the Office of Woods and Forests having made their report, an official notification was received from the Treasury, inti¬ mating that their Lordships wrere ready to treat with the Society for a lease of the ground; but stating that their power of making grants of Crown land for the benefit of scientific institutions, was found to be confined to property situate within the bills of mortality.1 On this point, therefore, the Council have to correct an error in their last Report, in which it was stated that the law had left a power with the Executive, to grant whatever favor it may think fit, to charitable and scientific institutions. But they have great satisfaction in repeating the other part of their statement, that, up to the present moment, the public functionaries have manifested every disposition to favor the views of the Society. Under these circumstances, the Council were of opinion that it would still be desirable to embrace the offer of the Treasury, and to obtain a long lease of the ground. But an interview, which the President of the Society soon afterwards had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, induced a hope that the beneficial arrangement originally contemplated might become practicable, if the Society would consent to wait. Events, over which the Council had no control, have protracted the official determination on this subject; and, until it should be decided, nothing further could prudently be * 1 Act 56 Geo. III. C. 128. § 83. REPORT. 21 done. The answer, however, is now shortly to be expected; and, in that expectation, Lord Grantham has been requested to direct the necessary arrangements to be made, for putting the Society into early possession of the ground. It is the full intention of the Council, if their views on this subject should have the concurrence of the Meeting, to pre¬ pare, in any event, to build on this interesting and advan¬ tageous site, and to proceed with the least possible delay. The increasing embarrassment of a large collection, accumu¬ lated in too narrow a compass, continually urges upon them the necessity of removing it to more spacious premises ; and, — though they will not allow themselves to do with precipita¬ tion what is to be done in perpetuity, and are well aware that, in the transaction of public business, patience is a quality no less requisite than zeal, — they are eager, nevertheless, to push forward a work, the speedy execution of which they consider as essential to the prosperity of the Institution, and important to the interests of Science. The Society will have no reason to regret the time which has been occupied in these negociations, if it shall have been the means of augmenting the subscriptions to the Building Fund. Even during the late period of public depression, some liberal contributions have been added to it ; and, at a time of reviving confidence, more may be reasonably ex¬ pected. The character of the Society is now known and appreciated : each successive Report has enabled the public to form a better estimate of its pretensions; and the Council cannot but indulge a hope, that the present sketch of its pro- REPORT. ceedings will not diminish the favor with which its designs and exertions have been viewed. The time is now at hand, for determining the form and dimensions of the edifice which is to be raised; and, as the scale on which it shall be constructed must depend on the extent of the subscription, those who wish to see a compre¬ hensive plan for the promotion of science in the North of England adequately executed, must not delay to extend to it such a support, as may render the character of the fabric com¬ mensurate with the magnitude of the design.
