* I desire to take this opportunity of pointing out that though the osteological 

 series of the Hunterian Museum is a most valuable and useful one, it is j'et not verj^ 

 large and does not contain second and third specimens for comparison. Such a 

 collection as the zoologist really requires ought to be formed at the Natural History 

 Museum. The osteological collection of that museum is at present very small 

 and not such as is necessary for reference and comparison. A large room in the 

 basement was arranged by me to receive such a collection, which I had intended to 

 keep mounted on flat boards and movable : the boards to be fixed as sliding-shelves 

 in dust-tight cabinets. An assistant was appointed in 1907 for the purpose of 

 making and looking after this proposed collection.
