The necessary expenditures for construction, during the 

 year, have doubtless been injurious to the special interests 

 of the Museum, but as our annual income will no longer be 

 taxed for those purposes, we may hojie for larger accessions 

 in the future. We have already taken steps in that direc- 

 tion by cooj^erating with the Smithsonian Institution in their 

 explorations over the unsettled portion of our country. New 

 fields of interest will thus be opened, and we shall secure for 

 ourselves larger and more desirable results than could be 

 gained by independent efforts alone.
