attractiveness of the room. The fine set of antelope and 

 other heads lent by Mr. Harold Cookson have been put on 

 view on the wall of the west corridor. 



During the year I have had some temporary help in the 

 museum from Mr. G. R. Brook, now zoological assistant in 

 the Cardiff Museum, his stay resulting in a number of beauti- 

 fully finished osteological and anatomical preparations. I 

 have also again to thank several of the honorary curators for 

 practical assistance. Mr. Graham's extensive and detailed 

 work upon the eggs and nests has been referred to ; Mr. R. C. 

 Clephan has made out the text of labels for the Egyptian 

 diagrams j and Mr. John Daglish has given me useful advice 

 regarding the set of coal samples which he has obtained for 

 the museum.
