 cover. Tiie reports of the Museum for 1881, 1882, and 1883 were first printed in the reports of the 

 Institution for those years and were afterward issued in pamphlet form. The Museum Report for 

 1884 was the first one to occupy a separate volume of the Smithsonian Report and to be accompanied 

 by papers based upon the collections. 



* This volume covers only the first six months of the year 1885, iince it wai decided to iHue 

 future reports by fiscal year instead of by calendar year.
