Exhibition ; and on March 26th the New York Academy of 

 Sciences received the same privilege on the occasion of the Third 

 Annual Reception of that body. A special reception was ten- 

 dered October 23d by the Trustees to the guests in attendance at 

 the Sesquicentennial Celebration of Princeton University; and on 

 November 30th the members of the Museum were invited to a 

 view of the collections and of the New Halls of Anthropology 

 and Vertebrate Palaeontology. 



While it has not been customary in preceding reports to incor- 

 porate a list of the lectures, the important growth of this work I 

 believe justifies an enumeration of the lectures given during the 

 year, and I therefore append a statement of the several series, 

 which were in most instances illustrated with stereopticon views. 



The following are the lectures delivered to the teachers of the 

 public schools by Professor Bickmore, in accordance with the 

 terms of the contract between the Museum and the State Super- 

 intendent of Public Instruction.
