Oct. 1900. Annual Report of the Director. 441 



order of the collector's numbers and so entered in the record volume 

 then in use, the corresponding serial catalogue number of the volume 

 being placed upon each sheet as entered. (The catalogue numbers 

 commence at unity in Vol. 1, and continue unbroken through all suc- 

 ceeding volumes.) Should a previous collection, or even a single 

 specimen, made by the same collector in the locality have already 

 been entered in the catalogue, the last entry of that collection is 

 referred on to the first entry of the new lot, a rubber stamp reading : 

 'To Vol. .., page ..,' being used for this purpose, thus rendering 

 the catalogue of each collector's material virtually consecutive. 

 Immediately upon the completion of the entry an index and is made 

 out, or the old card changed, to include the new lot. The form of the 

 card is as follows :
