630 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



Miss Eastwood, when not iu the fiekl, has devoted herself to the detail 

 work of the herbarium. Meanwhile, as circumstances will admit, she 

 economizes her time iu the pre^iaration of a i^aper upon the Genias Allium. 



Work iu mounting the specimens in the herbarium has continued, with- 

 out interruiitiou, during the entire year. 



Mr. Bryant, in charge of the department of birds and mammals, while 

 not adding new species, for reasons which are obvious, has cared for those 

 in the collection in a painstaking manner. 



Mr. Fuchs, iu the department of Coleoptera, has cared for those col- 

 lected iu Lower California, mounting them in so delicate a manner that 

 few can equal. 



Dr. Cooper, iu fossils, has made a careful revision of the living and fos- 

 sil shells of the year; and will relabel our whole collection, if possible, 

 during the coming year. 



Dr. Behr has cared for the Academy's collection in entomology, but few 

 opportunities have offered for him to increase the same. 



Prof. Gilbert, having been constantly occupied in the interest of the 

 Stanford Universitj', has had but little time to devote to the department of 

 icthyology. It is to be hoped that, in the future, he may be able to devote 

 more time to our collection. 



From this hasty sketch of the work accomplished during the past year, 

 and with the present bright outlook for the future, with a young and am- 

 bitious staff of workers, we may well indulge the hope that the coming 

 year will be one of the greatest importance to the well-being of our society.
