A large Angler-fish caught upon the mud in the 

 River Avon, has been admirably mounted and placed in 

 a special floor case, whilst the body of a Hammer-headed 

 Shark has been added to the Shark series. 



To the dry mounted series numerous specimens have 

 been added, Mr. E. Wheeler as in past years giving the 

 Museum the benefit of his skill in the artistic rendering 

 of the life-like colours of the fish. 



Labelling and Registration. 



In addition to the constant service of the museum 

 printing press, about iooo labels have been printed 

 outside, in order to overtake in some measure the arrears 

 of labelling. The major part of the molluscan series 

 are all labelled, and a good series of family descriptive 

 labels has also been added. Advantage has been taken 

 of this extensive labelling to ensure the registration of 

 the museum contents, and no specimen is now supplied 

 with a printed label until it has first been registered. 

 The register number is then printed upon the label, and 

 a duplicate copy of the label upon a catalogue card, so 

 that eventually the collection will be fully entered in 

 the bound Museum registers and in duplicate upon a 

 Catalogue Register.
