  active 
  and 
  extremely 
  valuable 
  expert 
  service 
  to 
  the 
  increasing 
  of 
  

   our 
  collections 
  without 
  a 
  dollar 
  of 
  compensation 
  from 
  the 
  state. 
  It 
  

   is 
  a 
  pleasure 
  to 
  recognize 
  in 
  this 
  public 
  way 
  a 
  service 
  so 
  satisfactory 
  

   in 
  its 
  result 
  and 
  so 
  unusual 
  in 
  being 
  rendered 
  to 
  the 
  state 
  without 
  

   salary. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  hoped 
  that 
  Dr 
  Beauchamp 
  may 
  from 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  his 
  work 
  

   for 
  the 
  past 
  25 
  years 
  give 
  us 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  bulletins 
  which 
  will 
  make 
  

   his 
  stores 
  of 
  special 
  knowledge 
  available 
  to 
  every 
  student 
  of 
  the 
  

   subject.
