   ogy. 
  — 
  The 
  laborious 
  task 
  of 
  cataloguing 
  and 
  labeling 
  the 
  

   many 
  specimens 
  in 
  this 
  department 
  has 
  been 
  constantly 
  pushed 
  

   forward 
  by 
  the 
  Curator. 
  More 
  than 
  400 
  new 
  labels 
  have 
  been 
  

   typewritten, 
  about 
  100 
  of 
  which 
  bear 
  citations. 
  

  

  Visiting 
  scientists 
  have 
  made 
  frequent 
  use 
  of

  collec- 
  

   tions 
  during 
  the 
  year, 
  among 
  whom 
  may

  Under 
  the 
  direction 
  of 
  the 
  Associate 
  Curator, 
  Dr. 
  Edmund 
  

   Otis 
  Hovey, 
  the 
  whole 
  catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  geological 
  collections 
  

   has 
  been 
  standardized, 
  and 
  all 
  the 
  specimens 
  received 
  during 
  

   the 
  year 
  have 
  been 
  accessioned. 
  Among 
  the 
  acquisitions 
  par- 
  

   ticular 
  mention 
  may 
  be 
  made 
  of 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  graphite 
  in 
  its 
  

   crude 
  and 
  manufactured 
  form, 
  the 
  gift 
  of 
  the 
  Dixon 
  Crucible 
  

   Company. 
  By 
  exchange 
  we 
  have 
  received 
  a 
  beautifully 
  

   polished 
  and 
  etched 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  Gibeon 
  iron 
  meteorite 
  and 
  

   samples 
  illustrating 
  the 
  mill 
  work 
  done 
  on 
  the 
  copper 
  ores 
  at 
  

   Butte, 
  Montana. 
  

  

  In 
  April, 
  Dr. 
  Hovey, 
  accompanied 
  by 
  his 
  wife 
  as 
  volunteer 
  

   assistant, 
  again 
  visited 
  the 
  Lesser 
  Antilles 
  to 
  continue 
  his 
  

   comparative 
  studies 
  of 
  the 
  volcanoes 
  of 
  this 
  region. 
  Besides 
  

   the 
  scientific 
  data 
  bearing 
  on 
  the 
  geological 
  formation 
  of 
  the 
  

   country, 
  Dr. 
  Hovey 
  secured 
  a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  important 
  

   photographs 
  and 
  many 
  specimens 
  of 
  volcanic 
  material. 
  

  

  Much 
  of 
  the 
  Associate 
  Curator's 
  time 
  has 
  been 
  occupied 
  

   with

  editorship 
  of 
  the 
  Museum 
  Journal, 
  of 
  which 
  eight 
  

   numbers
