ARRANGEMENT OF COLLECTIONS AND ASSIGNMENT OF SPACE. 



The development of the collection of objects illustrating the graphic 

 arts has been so rapid that it has been found necessary to enlarge the 

 limits of the space assigned for its display. In 1888 one-half of the 

 northwest rauge was assigned to this collection. During the year it 

 has been found necessary to devote the entire range to the Section of 

 Graphic Arts, the casts of Mexican sculptures having been removed to 

 the Smithsonian building. The east side of the northwest range is de- 

 voted to the technical collection, and on the west side are shown the 

 methods of drawing and painting and the historical collection of relief 

 engravings, intaglio engravings, and lithographs. Mr. Koehler in his 

 report discusses at some length the need of additional space, in view 

 of the fact that the space now provided is not sufficient for the installa- 

 tion of the material already on hand. 



Mr. J. E. Watkins, Curator of Transportation and Engineering, has 

 re-arranged the collection under the following classes: (1) Objects 

 and implements for burthen-bearing by man and animals ; (li) Objects 

 and implements of human and animal traction (street railway cars ex- 

 cepted); (3) Originals, models, and drawingsof stationarysteamengines; 

 (4) Originals, models, and drawings of locomotives ; (5) Models and 

 drawings of passenger-freight cars ; (0) Originals, models, and drawings 

 illustrating the development of the American rail and track ; (7) Models, 

 relics, and drawings showing the beginnings of the steam-boats and
