can best co-operate with teachers. Traveling exhibits 

 are now in preparation which will prove of unusual interest. 



The Director represented the college at the annual meeting 

 of the Association of Southern Colleges and Preparatory- 

 Schools, held in Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 7 and 8, and took 

 the opportunity while there of working up the iron and steel 

 industry in the interest of the Museum. He secured a very 

 complete series of specimens and photographs from which a 

 circulating exhibit is being prepared for use in the city and 

 country schools, as well as a comprehensive exhibit for the 

 Museum. Plans are also being made for an extensive series of 

 industrial exhibits, showing the economic importance of the 

 natural resources of Charleston, to be installed in the new 

 Museum. 



The Bulletin is glad to note substantial progress on the 

 new building, after many delays. A large amount of cata- 

 loging of books and specimens has been accomplished in pre- 

 paration for moving, but this tedious work is necessarily slow 

 with our small staff and unfortunately prevents the under- 

 taking of much new work which would otherwise be done. 



Recent accessions include a young Bald Eagle in the black 

 phase, presented alive by Mr. W. E. McLeod, and a Golden 

 Pheasant hen, presented by Mr. W. K. McDowell. Both of 

 these birds fill gaps in groups which are otherwise well rep- 

 resented in the Museum. As we go to press, Mr. Louis 

 Simonds has given the Museum the carcass of a Bottle-nosed 

 Dolphin, Tursiops tursio (Fabr.), which is the familiar "por- 

 poise" of our coast. The skeleton of this specimen is being 

 prepared by Mr. Wamsley of the Museum staff.
