 Budleigh Salterton beds ; J. F. Blake Collection from the 

 Jurassic of France, Russia, and India ; A. Laur Collection from 

 the Senonian of Riigen ; Anstice, Butler, Hudson, Meade, and 

 Mockler Collections mainly from British rocks. 



The old labels have been revised, particularly in the 

 case of the British Carboniferous, Jurassic, and Cretaceous 

 specimens. 



The old exhibited series of British Jurassic Brachiopods 

 has been removed, and is being replaced by a new selected 

 series in table-case 17, with names and horizons carefully 

 determined. Many corrections have also been made in the 

 exhibited series of British Cretaceous and Carboniferous 

 Brachiopods, and some new labels have been printed. In 

 connection with the new Guide Book the whole British 

 exhibited series has been rearranged. 



Number of specimens of Brachiopoda registered, 5,637. 



Echinoderma (Gallery 8). — Several specimens, especially 

 the British Cretaceous Asteroidea, have been re-registered 

 with separate numbers, while their naming has been revised. 



The following are the chief recent accessions that have 

 been registered, labelled, and incorporated : — Caroline Birley 

 Collection of Echinoids, Asteroids, and Crinoids, from the 

 Danian of Faxe, the Miocene of Malta, and a number of 

 British localities and horizons ; J. F. Blake Collection of 

 Echinoids, Asteroids, and Crinoids from Britain, many 

 European countries, and India, chiefly Jurassic ; Addison 

 Crofton Collection of Echinoids and Crinoids from the 

 Jurassic of the S. of England and the Carboniferous of 

 Yorkshire ; A. Laur Collection of Echinoids from the Chalk 

 of Riigen ; J. Miguel Collection of Cambrian Cystids ; A. S. 

 Piret Collection of Tournaisian Echinoids, Crinoids, and 

 Blastoids ; A. W. Rowe Collection of Cenomanian Echinoids 

 from Devonshire ; T. Stock Collection of Carboniferous 

 Crinoids from Alveston. 



The unexhibited collection of British fossil Echinoderma 

 has been rearranged in a larger number of drawers (186 in 

 all) so as to admit of the above and future incorporations. 



To bring the exhibited series into a more logical arrange- 

 ment, the British Collection of Ophiuroids, Asteroids, and 

 Palaeozoic Echinoids has been entirely rearranged in table- 

 cases 29 and 30. Various Echinoids, both British and foreign, 

 have been labelled and mounted for exhibition. 



The porcelain tablets on table-cases A7, and 17-32, con- 

 taining the Conularida, Brachiopoda, Arthropoda, Annelida, 

 and Echinoderma, have been provided with new labels, in 

 accordance with the new arrangements.
