REPORT OF THE CURATOR OF THE WM. S. VAUX 



COLLECTIONS. 



The Curator of the Wm. S. Vaux Collections respectfully reports 

 that the cabinets have been in good condition during the past year. 

 They have, however, been inspected by but few persons, owing to the 

 unfavorable situation of the rooms in which they were arranged. 

 No additions have been made in the archceological section since the 

 donor's death. At the present time it is being i-emoved into the 

 new building where it will attract attention in connection with the 

 collection of Mr. Clarence B. Moore and others belonging to the 

 Academy. 



Since the last report 158 specimens have been added to the collec- 

 tion of minerals, several being new species. Their removal into the 

 new building has been completed without loss or injury to any of the 

 specimens. The cabinet has been placed in good order. It has been 

 arranged on the first floor of the new building where, in consequence 

 of the abundance of light, it can be exhibited to advantage. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Wm. W. Jefferis, 



Curator.
