46 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY, 



Exposition and partly for the prosecution of research, was very success- 

 ful in her mission, attracting much attention at the exhibition, and 

 making many important explorations. Included in these was a short 

 visit to Cozumel, an island off the coast of Yucatan, where many new 

 species of vertebrate animals were secured. 



The investigations made at Wood's HoU will be detailed in the next 

 report, as the work was begun after June 30, which represents the limit 

 of the present report. 



Eespectfully submitted.
