REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914, 107 
echinoids, aleyonarians, and hydroids were overhauled, the nomen- 
clature revised, fresh labels put on the outside of jars and boxes, 
and a systematic arrangement made. At the same time the card 
catalogue of these groups was brought up to date. Miss Rathbun 
also cooperated with Dr. Bartsch in the preparation and arrange- 
ment of the marine faunal exhibits, in which good progress was 
made. 
The helminthological collection, which had been retained in the 
Smithsonian building, was moved in the spring to the new building, 
where the alcoholic specimens have been arranged in two cases in 
the stack room and the microscopic slides in the adjacent corridor. 
Better accommodations for the latter and laboratory facilities for 
this section are intended to be provided. The collection of onycho- 
phores was transferred to this division from the division of insects. 
It now contains representatives of four genera and seven species, 
including the type of a new subspecies. The four microscopic slide 
cases in the division have been almost entirely filled with Foramini- 
fera mainly of the mountings of North Pacific specimens by Dr. Jo- 
seph A. Cushman, who has been making rapid progress in this work. 
The other microscopic slides are now provisionally arranged in a 
large unit case, awaiting better accommodations for their storage. 
Miss Mary J. Rathbun, assistant curator, completed a report on 
the decapod and stomatopod crustaceans collected at the Monte 
Bello Islands, off the northwest coast of Australia, by Mr. P. D. 
Montague, of Cambridge, England, which is being published in the 
Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London. She also worked 
up the crabs of the families Goneplacide and Gecarcinide from 
the expedition of the Fisheries steamer Albatross to the Philippine 
Islands in 1907-1910, and in a preliminary paper, printed in the 
Proceedings of the Museum, the new species of the former family 
were described. All of the unidentified specimens of these families 
in the possession of the Museum were likewise named at the same 
time, and the family Inachide is now receiving attention. 
Mr. Austin H. Clark, assistant curator, prepared a number of 
papers of greater or less size, as follows: A monograph of the 
crinoids of the Antarctic regions, to be included in the reports of 
the German South-Polar Expedition; a monograph of the crinoids 
of China and Japan, based on the collections of Prof. Dr. Franz 
Doflein, of Freiburg, which will probably be published by the 
Bavarian Academy of Sciences; a report on the crinoids collected 
by the Australian marine surveying ship Endeavour off southwest- 
ern Australia, to be published by the Western Australian Museum 
at Perth; and a detailed account of the crinoids of the British 
Museum. Mr. Clark was also the author of several shorter papers 
describing small crinoid collections or revising restricted crinoid
