In the study series the work of labelling, registering, 

 and incorporating the accessions has been carried on. A 

 new ca,binet has been added to the series containing the 

 skins of small mammals. In the Upper Mammalian Saloon 

 a new set of six double store-cupboards has been provided 

 for larger Mammals, these being the last which the over- 

 crowded space at disposal will admit of being erected. 

 n ' The department is again greatly indebted to Dr. C. I. For- 

 syth Major, Mrs. Oldfield Thomas, Mr. J. L. Bonhote, and 

 Mr. Harold Schwann, for assistance in naming and labelling 

 the accessions. 



Aves : — The arrangement and exhibition of Birds in the 

 Gallery has been retarded for want of funds. The re- 

 mounting of the Hornbills, Swifts, and Cuckoos has almost 

 completed the arrangement of the Picarian Birds. Many 

 specimens of the British series have been replaced by better 

 mounted examples. 



An illustrated Guide to the Gallery has been completed 

 and is now in the Press, and will shortly be issued to the 

 public. 



Screens have been erected which partially shut off the 

 bays from the centre of the Gallery, thus gaining wall space 

 for exhibition purposes. 



Progress has been made with the osteological collection, 

 and a number of eggs have also been registered and incor- 

 porated. 



The skeletons of the Katitse, Sphenisci, Tubinares, Anseres, 

 and Coraciiformes have been labelled, catalogued, and placed
