Work of the Mason-Formatore and Assistant Mason, dc. 



Forty -five " piece-moulds " of fossils have been prepared. 



Ninety casts, chiefly of Reptilia, have been prepared and coloured, and added to the 

 collection ; being reproductions of specimens in the Woodwardian Museum, Cam- 

 bi-idge ; the Geological Society's Museum ; the Museum of Practical Geology ; the 

 Calcutta Museum ; the private collections of MM. Hulke, Leeds, Piper, Rufford, &c. ; 

 representing type-specimens not in the British Museum. 



A series of coloured casts have also been prepared of various fossils for the Index 

 Museum. 



The casts of Phenacodus and HyraxotJterium have been prepared, coloured, and 

 imbedded in frames for exhibition. A series of casts have been prepared and coloured 

 and sent in exchanges to Professor Sordelli, Milan, Professor K. A. von Zittel, 

 Munich ; and one to Dr. Meyer, Dresden. Casts of the bones of the foot of 

 Megatherium, received from the Milan Museum, have been coloured and articulated 

 and fixed upon a stand. 



The skeleton of Dinornis didiformis, obtained from the late Sir Julius von Haast, 

 has been cleaned and mounted for exhibition. 



The skull of Cyamodus (Placodus) has been restored and re-produced. 



Numerous remains of Iguanodon have been developed, and the bones mounted for 

 exhibition. 



A large series of Mammalia from the " Forsyth Major " Collection, from the Island 

 of Samos, have been developed, repaired, and mounted on stands for exhibition. 



Part of a large Carapace of Glyptodon has been cleaned and prepared for re- 

 construction. 



A series of Old Red Sandstone Fishes have been developed. 



Specimens of Holoj)tychius and of Hyhodus have been developed and imbedded 

 in frames for exhibition ; also a small Ichthyosarus. 



A large series of Reptilian remains from the Wealden of Sussex, and also from the 

 Trias of South Africa, have been undergoing development and reconstruction prior 

 to their being mounted for exhibition in the cases. 



Numerous microscopic sections of fossil organisms have been prepared and mounted 

 on glass for examination ; also many large sections of corals, Cephalopods and recent 

 shells. 



A large number of fossils, both vertebrates and invertebi'ates, have been mended 

 and developed, and many large objects have been polished, prepared, and mounted 

 upon stands or in frames for exhibition. 



Many crinoids have been cleaned, reduced, and repaired for the wall-cases; also 

 numerous plant-remains, including the fixing of the large silicified tree-trunk from the
