made. Collections should always accompany notes, so that the observa- 

 tions may be verified by some specialist. 



No opportunity should be neglected to observe the breeding habits and 

 seasons, and the animal with young should, whenever possible, be pre- 

 served and forwarded to the Director, who will transmit it to the proper 

 authority for record. 



Another subject which should receive attention is the migration, or 

 seasonal appearance and disappearance of mammals, birds, reptiles and 

 fishes. The interesting results obtained in the observation of the migra- 

 tion of birds only suggest what may be done with the less conspicuous but 

 no less interesting habits of other forms.

The chief aim of this division for the past season — the compilation of 

 the bibliography of the vertebrates of Indiana — has been completed, and, 

 wherever that has not been done before, preliminary lists of the Indiana 

 species have been compiled and are ready for the printer. Where such 

 lists had recently been published in accessible form they have not been 

 reproduced. 



I give here the titles of the lists of species and bibliographies with their 

 place of publication :

The invertebrates have not been so well provided for, although some of 

 the groups have received an equal share of attention. 



No reports on the Protozoa, sponges, Plathelminthes and Vermes have 

 been prepared.
