  FoRTJ-SEVENTH 
  REPORT 
  ON 
  THE 
  STATE 
  MUSEUM. 
  

  

  item 
  passed 
  the 
  Legislature 
  and 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  Governor. 
  Among 
  

   the 
  few 
  items 
  in 
  the 
  supply 
  bill 
  which 
  were 
  vetoed 
  by 
  the 
  

   Executive, 
  this 
  called 
  for 
  his 
  especial 
  disapproval, 
  as 
  its 
  object 
  

   seemed 
  to 
  be 
  to 
  embarrass 
  and 
  obstruct 
  the 
  scientific 
  work 
  of 
  

   this 
  department.* 
  In 
  view 
  of 
  these 
  facts, 
  I 
  deem 
  it 
  imperative 
  to 
  

   insert 
  in 
  this 
  report 
  the 
  essential 
  portion 
  of 
  this 
  unpublished 
  part 
  

   of 
  volume 
  Till, 
  namely 
  the 
  final 
  chapter 
  or 
  summary 
  upon 
  

   the 
  classification 
  of 
  the 
  genera 
  of 
  the 
  Brachiopoda. 
  This 
  will 
  

   include 
  also 
  the 
  descriptions 
  of 
  the 
  new 
  species 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  

   studied 
  during 
  the 
  progress 
  of 
  printing 
  this 
  volume. 
  

  

  * 
  " 
  After 
  this 
  item 
  of 
  appropriation 
  passed 
  each 
  branch 
  of 
  the 
  Legislature, 
  and 
  while 
  the 
  bill 
  

   was 
  pending 
  in 
  conference 
  committee, 
  there 
  was 
  inserted 
  a 
  provision 
  making 
  the 
  appropriation 
  

   payable 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  annual 
  appropriation 
  for 
  the 
  services 
  and 
  expenses 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  Geologist 
  for 
  

   the 
  next 
  fiscal 
  year. 
  This 
  qualification 
  can 
  have 
  no 
  other 
  purpose 
  except 
  to 
  embarrass 
  the 
  

   State 
  Geologist. 
  With 
  equal 
  propriety 
  could 
  the 
  Legislature 
  provide 
  that 
  the 
  expenses 
  of 
  the 
  

   Legislature 
  should 
  be 
  taken 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  salaries 
  of 
  Assemblymen 
  and 
  Senators. 
  Such 
  a 
  qualifi- 
  

   cation 
  is 
  wrong 
  in 
  principle 
  and 
  requires 
  the 
  disapproval 
  of 
  the 
  appropriation.
