LABELLING. 



More labels have been printed than in the previous 

 year, and most of these have been of a descriptive 

 character, or to show the main features of classification. 



The printing of labels has proceeded almost con- 

 tinuously through the year, many hundreds being added 

 to the invertebrate section alone. Special attention has 

 been given to providing descriptive and classification 

 labels, and the use of distribution maps has also been 

 increased.
