CARE OF COLLECTIONS. 



The various collections received by the Department have been cata- 

 log'ued and cared for as in previous years. Much attention has been 

 given to the important work of destro3dng insect pests, and the 

 Department is now practically rid of them. The cataloguing- is quite 

 up to date, and considerable work has been done on the recataloguing 

 of collections imperfectly entered in previous years. 



In the laboratories much work has been accomplished. Numerous 

 casts of specimens have been made, a large number of vases have been 

 mended, and copies and models of many objects pertaining to the 

 Division of Technology have been constructed. 



INSTALLATION OF EXHIBITS. 



As already indicated, much ])rogress has been made in the work of 

 installing exhi))its. Not only have the Exposition exhil)its been 

 placed, but several of tlic halls have been entirel}" reinstalled and the 

 display made more attractive and instructive. La])eling has received 

 especial attention and is more nearly complete than at any previous 

 period. 



8TOKA(!E. 



Owing to the crowded condition of the Museum, a large bod}' of 

 material, comprising a considerable percentage of valuable specimens, 

 has been stored in outside buildings. During the year an attempt has 

 been made to iind space for the more important stoi-age material 

 within the Museum building, and nothing is now sent out which has 

 any special value or which could not readily be replaced in case of loss. 



FIELD WORK.

 Hough continued explorations in Arizona b(>giui during the preceding
