  Especially 
  noteworthy 
  are 
  the 
  gifts 
  of 
  Doctor 
  Walcott 
  

   to 
  the 
  geological 
  and 
  paleontological 
  collections, 
  and 
  the 
  gifts 
  of 
  

   Dr. 
  William 
  H. 
  Dall 
  to 
  the 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  division 
  of 
  mollusks, 
  num- 
  

   bering 
  233 
  titles. 
  

  

  Many 
  of 
  these 
  collections 
  have 
  been 
  received 
  and 
  they 
  have 
  an 
  inti- 
  

   mate 
  relation 
  to 
  the 
  library 
  in 
  that 
  the 
  donors 
  were 
  connected 
  with 
  

   the 
  Museum 
  and 
  brought 
  the 
  collection 
  together 
  during 
  the 
  progress 
  

   of 
  their 
  researches. 
  The 
  list 
  of 
  donors 
  in 
  the 
  foregoing 
  paragraph 
  

   will 
  give 
  some 
  idea 
  of 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  collections 
  of 
  this 
  kind 
  that 
  

   have 
  been 
  added. 
  Special 
  attention 
  should 
  be 
  called 
  to 
  the 
  Iddings 
  

   and 
  Walcott 
  collections, 
  given 
  during 
  the 
  previous 
  year. 
  These 
  

   required 
  assorting, 
  arranging, 
  and 
  checking 
  with 
  other 
  publications 
  

   of 
  the 
  same 
  kind 
  on 
  the 
  shelves, 
  in 
  order 
  to 
  prevent 
  duplication, 
  for 
  

   which 
  there 
  is 
  not 
  enough 
  room 
  at 
  the 
  present 
  time.
