NOTES FROM THE MUSEUM 



The Bulletin will be sent by mail to any address for 

 twenty-five cents a year. The mailing list is undergoing 

 revision and any who have failed to receive recent issues 

 will be supplied on application to the editor. 



The meetings of the Natural History Society are held 

 in Mjanigault Hall, the first Thursday in each month, at 

 4:30 p. m. All who are interested in our local birds are 

 invited to attend. At the November meeting Mr. J. W. 

 Wilson read a paper on the Frigate Bird, an abstract of 

 which is printed in this number of the Bulletin. 



As a part of the University Extension movement, Pro- 

 fessor Rea is giving a course of lectures on "Organic 

 Evolution and Kindred Biological Problems." Informa- 

 tion and tickets can be had at the Museum. 



The Museum has received, as the gift of Mr. Henry 

 Booth, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., a very fine series of fossils 

 which will nearly double the palaeozoic exhibit. Further 

 notice of this collection will be given when it is ready for 

 exhibition. 



All departments of the Museum are now busy with a 

 revision of the records of specimens and with the prepara- 

 tion of copy for new labels. An immense amount of such 

 work must be done to attain to the standard of modern 

 museum efficiency. 



The M}useum is open to the public on Saturdays from 

 10 to 5 and on other week-days from 10 to 12 and i to 5. 

 Children unaccompanied by an adult are admitted only on 

 Saturdays.
