The principal collections purchased were received from Prof. H. 
A. Ward of Rochester, and Mr. E. Hiberlein, who sent us a sec- 
ond collection of Solenhofen fossils. An extensive collection of 
fossil fishes for the Lower Carboniferous, brought together by 
Mr. Thomas Stock of Edinburgh, has also been purchased for the 
Museum. 
I hope during the coming winter to be able to move the collec- 
tions of fossils now stored in the attic to their final storage rooms, 
and to make a beginning in the arrangement of the Paleontologi- 
cal Collections intended for exhibition.
