and trust that the results will prove in every way satisfactory. A 



catalogue of the species and number of specimens and their localities 



was typewritten. In addition to this laborious task, a synopsis of 



all the genera and species of fossils contained in the whole museum 



has been made out together with the number of specimens in each 



case. The results of this synopsis show that there are in the 



museum at the present time a total of 3490 American and European 



species, represented by 12,220 specimens. This is a very large and 



valuable collection, worthy of careful study by all interested in 



paleontology. 



Trusting that it may be possible to finish this work at a later 



time, and thanking the director for his kindness in making this 



revision possible, I remain 



Respectfully yours
