REPORT OF THE CURATOR OF THE WILLIAM 8. 

 VAUX COLLECTIONS. 



The Curator of the William S. Vaux Collections reports that 

 the raineralogical cabinet is in good order. There are a num- 

 ber of specimens which, too large to be placed in the present cases, 

 are exposed to the dust and liable to be injured. A special case 

 should be provided for them. Since his appointment as Curator 

 he has added 618 specimens to the collection, bringing the num- 

 ber up to 7,780. 



The archaeological collection is also in good condition, but no 

 additions have been made to it during the past year. 



Wm. W. Jefferis, 



Curator.
