NOTES FROM THE MUSEUH 



Teachers who desire to borrow the Museum travelling school 

 exhibits should make application directly to Miss Bragg at the 

 Museum, either by telephone or letter. There are now twenty- 

 five exhibits ready for circulation. A list of these exhibits may 

 be found in the Bulletin for December 1912. They will be freely 

 lent to all teachers in either public or private schools. 



A meeting of the primary teachers of the public schools was 

 held at the Museum January 16. Miss Bragg talked on the 

 nature study work for the winter months as outlined in the 

 Charleston Nature Study Course. 



Copies of the Charleston Nature Study Course are now ready 

 and will be sent to any teacher on application. 



Miss Emma Gibbes has been most kindly transferring to the 

 Museum survey the records of South Carolina flora and fauna 

 contained in the collections of her father, the late Professor Lewis 

 R. Gibbes. Professor Gibbes ' collections have been widely scat- 

 tered, but fortunately were carefully cataloged before distribu- 

 tion. 



Labels are now being printed for the exhibit of South Carolina 

 birds, thanks to the kindness of Dr. C. H. Prince whose skill is 

 rapidly bringing to pass what the Museum has found it impos- 

 sible of accomplishment during the past year. 



Mr. E. R. Memminger completed the revision of the Ravenel 

 herbarium while in Charleston. He is now in Beaufort where 

 it is expected he will secure numerous plant records for the sur- 

 vey. Mr Memminger 's generous assistance has been of the 

 utmost value to the Museum. Without it the herbarium could 

 not possibly have reached its present stage of accessibility nor 

 the survey have been extended to any considerable limits. While 

 nominally honorary curator of fungi, Mr. Memminger has de- 

 voted his time to building up the herbarium in all lines. 



Dr. D. S. Martin is again at the Museum and as usual is making 

 large and notable gifts to the geological department. This year
