the specimens received; combining many notes by the eminent 
curator of the museum, suggested while comparing and arranging 
the immense collection which has been gathered by the careful 
management of Prof. Wyman and the other trustees of the museum. 
When the building fund shall have accumulated to an amount 
sufficient to enable the trustees to erect a proper building in which 
to exhibit the treasures in their charge, there will be opened a 
museum of archeology and ethnology that will have but few rivals 
in size and excellence. The foresight exhibited by the trustees, 
in obtaining the large and valuable foreign collections as they have 
been offered for sale, has secured the means of direct comparison 
of the relics of the prehistoric races of the old world with those of 
the new. Prof. Wyman remarks, when speaking of the Clement 
collection, the balance of which was received during the past year: 
with the analogous ones of the new world. In view of the fact 
that there exists a large demand for archeological objects in the 
principal museums of Europe, that the Danish government pro- 
hibits the exportation of such, that the ancient dwelling places on 
the Swiss and Italian lakes, as also the caves and rock shelters of 
France, have been largely explored, and many of them exhausted, 
it is hardly probable that opportunities for obtaining collections, 
such as those above referred to, will be again offered to us.” 
In regard to the collections from America the trustees haye been 
equally active and have received muny valuable additions, espe- 
cially from the labors of Rey. E. O. Dunning in East Tennessee, 
and those of the curator himself in Florida, beside the direct dona- 
~ tion of many specimens from various parts of the country, includ- 
__ ing over eight hundred specimens from New Jersey presented by 
_ Dr. C. C. Abbott, who has also done so much for the archeological 
_ department of the Academy at Salem. :
