Pg 367 - "Dr Pern's Collection
Cr Lederman reported on the proceedings of the special committee meeting held on the 19th February. At that meeting it was suggested that the Ballarat Historical Society might consider transferring their collection to the Museum. It was decided that any expert from Melbourne be invited to come to Ballarat for the purpose of inspecting the mounted birds, which in many instances were falling to pieces, and recommending the best way of dealing with them."
