Installation, Rearrangement and Permanent Improvement. — At the end 

 of last year the Department of Anthropology reported that more 

 material awaited installation than at any previous time for ten 

 years. This condition was due to the fact that the accessions for 

 two years had been extremely large and numerous. The necessity 

 for resorting to various makeshifts in order to store this great body 

 of material has existed during part of the present year. Late in the 

 year, however, 40 new cases became available, which, at once, made 

 possible a general rearrangement of certain collections of the depart- 

 ment. Since the arrival of the new cases, the following collections 

 have been installed: Arapaho, Wasco, Pawnee and Javanese. The 

 extensive collection from Borneo has also been installed, as well as 

 a large part of the collections from Africa. For these collections, 

 however, old cases have been utilized; those from Africa in cases that 

 had been abandoned by the Departments of Geology and Botany. 

 The material from the first Cummings' Philippine Expedition has 

 been installed in Halls 40 and 55, and occupies 28 cases. The 

 new cases have made it possible to remove many collections which 

 have been temporarily installed in Hall 8, and that hall has now 

 been restored to its former condition, and is again devoted exclusively 

 to the archaeology of the Southwest. Hall 7 is temporarily occupied 

 by Taxidermy, but it will ultimately receive the overflow collections, 

 both archaeological and ethnological, of the Southwest. A portion 

 of the East Annex has been transferred to the Department of Anthro- 

 pology, and this additional space has made possible an extremely 

 desirable change. There has been transferred to the Annex all 

 collections from regions outside of America, and the provisional
