The Superintendent op the Museum reports that the duties of the 

 office have materially lessened since the deposit of the Natural His- 

 tory Collection with, and the transference of all donations in this 

 department to, the Trustees of the Peabody Academy of Science. 

 The Historical and Antiquarian portions of the collections have been 

 usually under the care of the Curators of that department, and the 

 condition of the same will be embodied in the report of the Secretary. 

 It is appropriate that a statement be made at the annual meeting 

 of the condition of the Scientific Collection in the custody of the 

 Academy ; what additions of scientific value have been made, and 

 what progress in the promotion of the objects of this department has 

 been accomplished. 



As Director of the Peabody Academy, and also as Superintendent 

 of the Museum, I would report most favorably, both in regard to the 

 care which has been given to the collections, the i^reseut arrange- 

 ment, and the great benefit thus conferred upon the public.
