VI. — Printing Labels. 



The substitution of printed labels, in lieu of written ones, 

 for the exhibition-cases generally, but especially for the wall- 

 cases, has been steadily carried on during the past year. 



450 labels have been composed for the Index Museum, of 

 which 5,018 copies have been struck oiF. 



210 labels for Vertebrata have been composed, and 3,823 

 copies struck off. 328 labels have been composed for the 

 Mollusca and Cephalopoda, and 10,100 copies struck off. 



122 labels for the Bryozoa have been composed, and 1,092 

 copies printed off. 



97 Crinoidea — and " Silurian Fossils from Gotland " — 

 labels, have been composed, and 5,077 copies have been 

 printed off.

 1,476 copies struck off. 



For Mr. Etheridge's stratigraphical series, 1,104 labels have 

 been composed, and 6,624 copies struck off. 



The saving of time and labour which is effected by the use 

 of one small printing-press, cannot be too highly commended 

 to the attention of Museum Curators.
