The Bayet collection has been brought in safety to Pittsburgh from 

 Brussels and is in storage awaiting the time when it will be possible 

 to place it on exhibition. There is at present no room in our 

 crowdecl lialls to display this beautiful assemblage of specimens. 



Professor A. E. Ortmann is engaged in classifying the large 

 conchological collection belonging to the Museum. This work is 

 being done at No. 419 Craft Ave., the house which the Museum has 

 been compelled to rent temporarily in order to furnish elbow room 

 for the staff. Mr. J. L. Lockwood has been added to the staff of the 

 Museum in the section of Zoological Preparation. Mr. J. A. Shafer 

 at the beginning of November, severed his connection with the 

 Museum in order to accei)t a position tendered him by Dr. N. L. 

 Britton of the New York Botanical Gardens. The vacancy thus 

 created has not been filled as yet.
