18 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. [Jan. 



begun by Prof. Agassiz, before his departure for Brazil. A few 

 exchanges were made of some of our more common Mammals, 

 Birds, Reptiles and Fishes ; but the care of the Brazilian col- 

 lection of Fishes, demanded so much time that little else could 

 be done, besides attending to it. A considerable number of 

 skeletons of Birds and Mammals have been received through 

 our exchanges, and as soon as assistants can be obtained, we 

 shall have as duplicates, numerous species of Birds, Mammals 

 and Reptiles to dispose of as Skeletons for our exchanges from 

 the Brazilian collections.
