for schools by demonstrating zoological classification in an 

 easy and practical. way. 



The special work in connexion with the reptiles and 

 amphibians of China has been continued and a satisfactory 

 addition to the collection has been made during the year. 

 Frogs from all parts of China are especially wanted during 

 the present year, so as to complete so far as possible their 

 geographical distribution. 



Duplicates of birds, reptiles, amphibia, insects, etc., are 

 available for disposal by exchange or sale. 



The list of acquisitions to the Museum during the year 

 under review, which is appended to this report shows the 

 happy state that our friends are increasing, and to these our 

 heartiest thanks are given.
