 < V have been promptly numbered and catalogued and any 



available data regarding them preserved. It is satisfactory to know 

 that the Curator reports that records are now on file for all specimens 

 in the Department. The entries in the inventory l>ooks of the Depart-

 the books of this Department are now in a very satisfactory state.

 safely stated that the clerical work this year has had more attention 

 than usual and that the recording of material has kept pace with 

 the receipt of new acquisitions. The inventory books in the Depart 

 ment of Botany are in a highly satisfactory condition, the number of 

 imens entered bt*ing over 19,000 for the year. The year's work 

 in the Museum on catalogues and inventories is shown in detail as

AccEsaioK*. — There continues to be constant growth in material 

 in the varioos departments through purchases and the results of 

 &ekl work. In many cases collections and specimens have been pre- 

 sented to the Mu^um. Notably was this the case in the acquisition 

 by the Department of Anthropology of the Wattron collection.
