6 ANNUAL KEPOKT OF THE 



bratc Palaeontology. His genial and kindly nature endeared him 

 to his associates. In accordance with his expressed wish, all of the 

 types in his personal collection are given to the Museum, the re- 

 mainder of the collection being divided between the Museum and 

 the Boston Society of Natural History. From his library the 

 Museum has also received upwards of 800 volumes and pamphlets. 

 I have also to record the death of Eli Goodrow, for more than 

 thirty-six years the devoted and faithful Janitor of the Museum ; 

 he had served the Museum almost from its beginning, and the 

 evidences of his handiwork throughout the building show his 

 interest in its growth and development.

Keeper of the Museum.
