566 PROCEEDINGS OP UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. [10] 



Among cotton goods of foreign manufacture a very large and cxcep 

 tionally lino assortment from Jai)an and China deserves especial men- 

 tion ; also a good series from Slam. Besides these there is a large 

 number of samples of cotton yarns and finished goods collected by the 

 United States consuls in all parts of the world, received from the De- 

 partinent of State. 



COTTON FABRIOS DESIRED. 



A series of specimens which, with descriptive labels and drawings or 

 photographs of inachinery, will afford a clear idea of the process of 

 manufacture of cotton goods of various kinds is particularly desired. 

 There are also some special manufactures required to perfect the collec- 

 tion, which it is hoped will soon be obtained from the manufacturers.
