Works of the Department. 



Room I. The wall-cases in this Room appropriated to Fossil Plants, and which had, 

 during the preceding year, been emptied of their contents, with the view of making 

 alterations in the shelves, &c., have now been re-arranged. The unexhibited plants 

 have been carefully examined, classified, and arranged in drawers, in Rooms I. and II. 



Room II. The re-arrangement of the Fossil Fishes in this Room has been completed 

 and two additional cases have been placed in the Window recesses, in which have been 

 arranged a collection of Fish Spines {Ichfhyodorulites). 



Room III. The wall-cases in this room, containing the remains of Plesiosauri, have 

 been cleaned, and a partial re-arrangement of the specimens has been effected, for the 

 purpose of exhibiting additional specimens received during the year. 



Two large new species of Plesiosauras have been here exhibited for the first time. 



Room IV. The Protozoa from the Spongitenkalk of Wurtemburg, exhibited in the 

 window-recess, have been labelled and arranged. 



Room V. The window-recesses in this room have been fitted with glazed cases, in 

 which are displayed a series of Fossil Corals, and a series of Fossil Starfishes ; and the 

 Table Cases Nos. 16 and 17 in this room have been re-arranged. They contain Fossil 

 Corals, the specimens of which have been named and mounted on tablets.
