Ritdson, George A. 11150. February 21. G. 



Seven small shad received by him at Savannah, Ga., from Cedar Keys, Fla.,. 

 the first of the species he has known from that locality. These shad, in 

 measurements, proportions, colors, &c., resemble individuals that the Mu- 

 seum has from Alabama. 



Jamaica Institute Public Museum, 117G0. August 12. G. 



This large and very valuable collection of Jamaican species is the second 

 of a series of shipments to the Museum in duplicate, one of each species to 

 be kept here and the other returned, named, to the museum at Kingston. The 

 first can was received in December, 1881. The second can contained 183 

 specimens, all of them in excellent condition and representing many species 

 which will prove additions to our collection. The species are, at present, 

 only partly determined.
