Museums. 



Accessions.* — During the year, 1,445 specimens were re- 

 ceived for the museums. Most of these specimens will ulti- 

 mately be placed in the public collections. It is a pleasure 

 to note that a great portion of this material came to us as un- 

 solicited gifts, a condition that shows the lively interest taken 

 in the institution by the manufacturers, the importers and the 

 general public. 



2. Preparation of Material for Exhibition. — The 

 appliances for exhibiting specimens mentioned in the follow- 

 ing paragraphs are only such as form a part of the perma- 

 nent equipment of the museums. The equipments for col- 

 lecting and storage and all appliances used in a temporary 

 way are not here considered.

 Garden, 2 : nos. 1-12.
