REPORT OF THE CURATOR OF THE WILLIAM S. 

 VAUX COLLECTIONS. 



The Curator of the W. S. Vaux collections submits his report for 

 the years 1889 and 1890. 



The collections are in good condition. One hundred and forty 

 specimens were added during the two years embraced by the re- 

 port, at a cost of $379.28. Sixteen upright cases have been pre- 

 pared at an outlay of S523.22, and placed above the horizontal 

 cases for the proper systematic arrangement of the additions. 



The additions now reported increase the number of specimens 

 in the Mineralogical collection to 7,028. No additions have been 

 made to the Archeological collection, and the specimens at present 

 number 2,940, the same as reported in 1888. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



Jacob Binder, 



Curator.
