Roosevelt a description of the 18 pairs of glasses used in our bird work 

 and from these ten pairs were selected and forwarded in April, 1918. Soon 

 after the armistice was signed one pair of glasses was returned, followed 

 at intervals by others until on June 21st the last glass had been returned, 

 all in perfect condition, and with an engraved certificate of thanks and 

 appreciation from the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. 



MUSEUM. 



During the fall term the lack of regular teaching enabled the curator 

 and other members of the department: to devote more attention to the 

 General Museum than has been possible in any one term for many years 

 past. As a result its general condition has been very greatly improved. 

 The entire display of minerals and fossils has been rearranged, the large 

 collection of marine invertebrates from J. M. Knapp (with '61), from the 

 Puget Sound region, has been displayed and properly labeled, and a 

 large part of the Harry K. Pomeroy collection of birds eggs has been put 

 on exhibition, although as yet it lacks printed labels. In addition the 

 entire collection of birds, both on the museum shelves and in storage, has 

 been overhauled and the museum part has been considerably augmented 

 and improved. In the course of this work it was found possible to re- 

 mount some two hundred specimens from the Broas collection and these 

 were used freely for the classes in ornithology during the spring term. 

 Much remains to be done along this line and in particular the museum 

 needs the addition of good specimens of many common reptiles, fishes, 

 birds and mammals which are not now represented at all. 



Respectfully,
