Yol. 54.] ANNUAL REPORT. xiu 



Museum. 



No additions have been made to the collections during the past 

 year. 



Mr. C. Davies Sherborn has actively continued the work of 

 labelling and registering the type- and other important specimens 

 in the Poreign Collection. 



He reports as follows : ' Three hundred and twenty drawers 

 have been examined during the past year. This takes the work on 

 into the South American Collection, and leaves for future exami- 

 nation the whole of the Australasian Collection (144 drawers) and 

 some miscellaneous collections in the small workrooms. I have to 

 acknowledge the valuable assistance afforded by Mr. T. W. Yaughan, 

 of the United States Geological Survey, in the examination of 

 Duncan's types of the Antiguan corals, a task left unfinished by 

 Dr. Duncan.'
