City cannot be used for the maintenance of these parties, and 

 it is largely through the income from the bequest of Mr. Jesup 

 that this work has been carried on. During the past year the 

 Museum has had representatives in the following localities:

MINERALS 



Department of Mineralogy. — The Bement Collection 

 of Minerals, presented to the Museum several years ago by Mr. 

 J. Pierpont Morgan, is so extensive that cataloguing it in an 

 adequate manner is no small task. The special card catalogue 

 of this collection is nearing completion. More than 16,000 

 cards have been written, and less than 1,000 specimens remain 

 to be identified. 



The income from the Bruce Fund has again been usefully 

 applied toward enriching the collections, and fifty-five speci- 

 mens, either quite new to the collections, or important for their 

 possession of new features or great beauty, have been added 

 in this way. 



Owing to limited space, an appropriate installation of the 

 minerals cannot now be made, but it is expected that this 

 will be remedied when the collections are rearranged in the 

 new hall in the west wing.
