REPORT ON OSTEOLOGY. 
By D. D. SLaAbeE. 
THE osteological collection of Mammalia is in excellent con- 
dition. A few additions have been made during the past year, 
chiefly by the return to the Museum of skeletons that had been 
sent to Prof. H. A. Ward for preparation. 
A few Cetacean bones from Florida have also been received 
from the Smithsonian. 
The Fossil Vertebrates from the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and 
Tertiary formations, collected in recent years by Messrs. 8. Gar- 
man, Clifford, Allaman, and Hollywood, have been opened and 
disposed in systematic order in the cases provided for them, and 
are now ready for determination. 
A Systematic Catalogue of the entire osteological collection of 
Mammals has been prepared.
