Editorial. 3 



The attendance at the Museum during the past two months has been 

 remarkable and in excess of the attendance at any corresponding time 

 in the history of the institution. 



Strenuous efforts are being made to bring the large collections of 

 alcoholic specimens which belong to the Museum into perfect order. 

 The accumulated treasures of the past ten years prove to be very great. 

 This is especially true in the Section of Ichthyology, and it is our hope 

 within the next few years to have one of the best collections of fishes 

 in the new world.
