' The first number accompanying the entries in the above list is that assigned to 

 sendings "for examination" on the Museum records. The number in Roman, in 

 parentheses, indicates the department in the Museum to which the material was 

 referred for examination and report. The numbers assigned to these departments 

 have been changed since the last report was published. When material is perma- 

 nently retained, a number of another series, i. e., the permanent accession record- 

 number, is placed in parentheses between the two sets of numbers referred to.
