Di?r dor's Animal Report. 



order at all times is beyond criticism; and that statement may 

 also be applied to visitors of every nationality. 



"The new method of securing the felt covers on the rail cases 

 in Hawaiian Hall galleries by means of a neat leather strap in the 

 centre of each case is a great improvement. The new aluminum 

 checks, and the checking system for hats, sticks and parcels have 

 proved most satisfactory. Individual sanitary drinking cups have 

 been installed and have been well patronized." 



Among distinguished visitors may be mentioned Demetrius 

 Anthony Magula, Director of the Mint, Petrograd ; Dr. Lyman 

 C. Newell, Professor of Chemistry in Boston University; Dr. Th. 

 Mortensen of Copenhagen, studying our echinoderms; August 

 Busch, U. S. National Museum, Washington ; Prof. Benoy Kumar 

 Sarkar, M.A., Allahabad, India; Dr. L. O. Howard of Washing- 

 ton; Dr. Wm. H. Welch, LIv.D.; Dr. Simon Flexner and party,
