from Mr. H. W. Seton-Karr, Dr. D. S. Martin, and Mr. A. S. 

 Rowell. These have been temporarily installed by Miss Bragg. 

 Mr. Seton-Karr 's gift consisted of stone implements from India 

 and Egypt which are especially interesting for comparison with 

 American types. Mr. Rowell presented a series of Indian im- 

 plements of a very primitive type from South Carolina. 



Miss Bragg has also prepared the entire South Carolina col- 

 lection for permanent labeling. 



Ornithology. Individual labels for 225 specimens in the 

 exhibit of South Carolina birds were prepared by Miss Bragg 

 and printed on the Museum press, thus greatly improving the 

 appearance of the exhibit. For this and other printing the Mu- 

 seum is indebted to Dr. C. H. Prince, who came to the aid of an 

 overworked staff and did this printing better than we have ever 

 had it done before. 



In the coming year the descriptive species labels should be 

 printed for this exhibit. Thirteen of these were printed this year. 



Mammalogy. The bison exhibit was completed by the con- 

 struction of a base representing the surface of a prairie and by the 

 addition of descriptive labels. Labels were also printed for the 

 elk exhibit. These two groups are the most prominent exhibits 

 in the main hall and it is, therefore, particularly gratifying to 

 have them properly installed. 



Little progress in case construction has been made because the 

 carpenter has been occupied with the extensive building repairs. 

 This is not so serious a misfortune as it may seem, however, since 

 it has resulted in carrying over a balance in the General Account 

 which will make possible much more rapid and extensive case 

 construction during the coming year than could have been ac- 

 complished otherwise. 



Miscellaneous Accessions. In addition to accessions listed 

 elsewhere, gifts of specimens have been received from fifty-six 

 friends of the Museum. This large number of donors indicates 

 the wide-spread interest of the community. It is a matter of 

 regret that space forbids detailed acknowledgment of these gifts.

The routine work of the library has progressed unusually well, 

 and it is hoped that progress in the coming year will be such that 

 thereafter Miss Bragg may have less of the detail to carry and 

 thus free her time for other lines of work.
