Several other important specimens received during the 

 year have not yet been added to the exhibition series. 



In the study series the work of labelling, registering and 

 incorporating acquisitions has been continued. Owing to 

 the equipping of persons who volunteer to collect for the 

 Museum and instructing them in modern methods of 

 collecting, the additions continue to arrive so fast that until 

 the new Mammal-room is built there will not be proper 

 accommodation for the store series, many specimens of which 

 have had to be placed in temporary boxes. To cope with the 

 work of naming, describing, and incorporating these accessions 

 the Department is again much indebted for assistance to 

 voluntary workers, of whom Dr. C. I. Forsyth Major, Mr. 

 W. E. de Winton, Mrs. Oldfield Thomas, Capt. G. E. H. 

 Barrett-Hamilton, and Mr. J. L. Bonhote should be specially 

 mentioned. 



Aves : — The re-arrangment and exhibition of birds in the 

 Public Gallery has been greatly retarded for want of funds. 

 The remounting of the Birds of Prey and Owls has been ^ 

 completed and many of the British Passeres, exhibited in 

 the saloon, have been replaced by more artistically mounted 

 examples. The work of mounting the specimens has been 

 carried out by Mr Cullingford, of Durham. 



The glass shades to several of the cases of British Birds' 

 nests have been renewed and the paper mounting of the 

 frames has been replaced by a more durable one of gun-metal. 



The hybrid Pheasants and Ducks have been transferred 

 from the Bird Gallery to the North Hall. 



During the past year considerable progress has been made 

 with the arrangement of the osteological collection, and a 

 very large number of eggs have also been registered and 

 incorporated. The catalogue of the collection of eggs
