eight specimens gold ores, all from the United States of Colombia, 

 from Senor F. Pereira Gamba; eleven specimens rough and polished 

 smoky quartz crystal from Butte, Montana, from Mr. A. P. Pohndorf ; 

 seven relief maps from the Atlas School Supply Company; seven 

 specimens of the diamond-bearing rocks of Pike County, Arkansas, 

 from Mr. A. Q. Millar; two large specimens lead and zinc ores from 

 Platteville, Wisconsin, from the Empire Mining Company; five 

 specimens Peruvian vanadium ores, from the American Vanadium 

 Company; nineteen specimens clays and briquettes, from Mr. John 

 J. Moroney; and several specimens copper ores and barites, from the 

 Chicago Copper Refining Company. Several valuable accessions 

 were received by exchange, among which may be mentioned a large 

 section, of the Santa Rosa meteorite, from Mrs. L. A. Coonley-Ward; 

 of the Elm Creek meteorite, from Ward's Natural Science Establish- 

 ment ; and of the Goalpara meteorite, from the Geological Survey of 

 India. From the Geological Survey of Canada was received, in a 

 similar manner, a fine cast of the Iron Creek meteorite; from J. E. 

 Narraway, a series of fossil trilobites, and other invertebrates, and from 

 Junius Henderson, a series of Cretaceous mollusks from Colorado. 

 The most important accession by purchase was that of the Fultz 

 collection of invertebrate fossils, numbering over five thousand 

 specimens. This collection is especially valuable for the series of 

 crinoids and blastoids of Lower Carboniferous age which it contains. 

 They were collected from the Burlington limestone, at the locality 

 which furnished the finest specimens ever secured while it lasted, but 

 which is no longer productive. In addition, about four thousand 

 invertebrate fossils from other localities in the Mississippi Valley 

 w^ere secured with the collection. A small collection purchased from 

 Prof. A. H. Cole furnished about 250 specimens of Palaeozoic inverte- 

 brates from New York and Vermont localities. A seventeen pound 

 individual of the Admire meteorite was purchased ; also a fine series 

 of topaz associated with phenacite, from Chatham, New Hampshire. 

 Accessions by expeditions include about forty specimens of ores, 

 minerals, and rocks from the north shore of Lake Superior, collected 

 by the Curator; about nine hundred specimens Devonian inverte- 

 brate fossils, from Little Traverse Bay, Michigan, collected by the 

 Assistant Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology, and about forty 

 specimens erosion forms, from Little Sister Bay, Wisconsin, collected 

 by the Curator of Botany.
