collection of Crustacea, and has spent much time in the arrange-

The number of volumes added to the. Library during the 
past year is somewhat -larger than usual, being nearly 500 vol- 
umes, besides 1,700 parts of volumes and pamphlets. The in- 
crease is mainly due to a number of new exchanges, and to the 
filling of gaps in the series from several of the past Museum 
correspondents. Among the accessions to the Library, I may call 
attention to the purchase of Glover’s original drawings, and to 
unpublished plates of Caverly, presented by Professor Keener. 
A number of institutions have received from us as complete sets 
of our publications as it was possible to supply, and to various 
Marine Zodlogical Laboratories full sets of our publications re- 
lating mainly to Invertebrates and Fishes were sent. 
As will be seen by Appendix A, the publications of the 
Museum during the past academic year have been unusually 
numerous. We have published seven numbers of the Bulletin, 
and two volumes containing my General Report on the ‘ Cruises 
of the Blake.” One volume of the Memoirs, containing the Re- 
port of Professor Ernst Ehlers on the Deep-Sea Florida Anne- 
lids, has also been issued during the past year. The Museum 
is greatly indebted to Professor Ehlers for this exhaustive Mon- 
ograph, based upon the collections of Pourtalés and of the 
“ Blake.” No less than sixty plates accompany the Memoir, 
and Professor Ehlers spared no pains in superintending their 
execution. ‘The text was printed in German, and is a most cred- 
itable production, from the press of John Wilson and Son. 
This volume of Professor Ehlers, and the two volumes of 
“Cruises of the Blake,” had been in preparation a number of 
years. 
A list of the Bulletins and Memoirs now under way will be 
found appended to the List of Publications. They include an 
important memoir on the Genesis of the Arietidz, by Professor 
Hyatt; a paper on the Lateral Line of Selachians, by Mr. S. 
Garman, based upon material left by the late Professor Agassiz ; 
and the completion of the Report of Mr. Dall on the “ Blake” 
Mollusks; as well as other contributions to Zodlogy, which have 
already been mentioned in former Reports. 
To friends of the Harvard Annex we owe the plates which 
accompany Miss Mayo’s Bulletin, and to Professor W. D. Alex-
