logiie of the higher Crustacea of New York city. This involved 

 tiie identification of the forms collected during the preceding two 

 summers and the preparation of some 30 sketches of forms not 

 hitherto figured. 



The Myriopoda and Phalangida in the Museum were also identi- 

 fied, a trip to Washington being made for the purpose of compar- 

 ing the specimens with the collections there. Some sketches and 

 notes were made for a catalogue of these forms. 



During the spring practically all of the attention of Dr Paul- 

 mier was devoted to the birds and in this he had the invaluable 

 assistance of Mr William C. Richard, a taxidermist. Unfortun- 

 ateh' the latter was not here during the hight of the spring 

 migration, but in spite of that, about 150 birds AVere collected. 

 Some of these were mounted and the remainder made up into 

 skins for a studv collection.
