graduate work in the Museum, and gives the Collection as his 

 contribution towards the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of 

 the Class. 



It is hoped that Mr. Winkley's gift will prove an incentive to 

 other graduates to associate their college work with the interests 

 of science and the Museum. 



For a number of years the late Mr. Roland Hayward was 

 deeply interested in the Entomological Department of the 

 Museum ; he frequently enriched its collections and gave his 

 time freely to their study. Mr. Hayward- died April 11, 1906, 

 and bequeathed the Museum his entire collection of Coleoptera, a 

 collection especially rich in the Carabidae, with a large number of 

 types and determined species of Bembidium, Tachys, and Amara. 



The thanks of the Museum are due to Prof. J. W. Judd for a 

 carefully labelled series of Dolomitic rocks from the Tyrol ; to 

 Mr. John E. Thayer for an interesting collection of mammals from 

 Sonora, Lower California, and contiguous regions ; and to Prof. 

 Roland Thaxter for a large number of insects, principally Cole- 

 optera, collected during his stay in South America. 



The Museum is likewise indebted to Dr. Frank Springer for a 

 fine series of the crinoid, Talarocrinus patei, from the St. Louis 

 group, Breckenridge Co., Kentucky, and to Dr. Leon J. Cole for 

 some interesting invertebrates from the Tortugas. 



All departments of the Museum, but especially the Entomolog- 

 ical and those under the charge of Mr. Garni an, have received 

 many and valuable accessions from the continued interest of Mr. 

 Thomas Barbour. 



By purchase the Museum has acquired 224 specimens of 

 Ammonites, an invaluable addition to its already rich series of 

 fossil Cephalopods. These important fossils are from the In- 

 ferior Oolite of England, many of them from the famous Bradford 

 Abbas quarry, a locality no longer available. The collection has 

 been monographed by Mr. S. S. Buckman in supplements to his 

 Memoir on Inferior Oolite Ammonites of the British Islands 

 (Palaeontographical Society, London) ; more than three-fourths of 

 the specimens are types ; the Museum thus shares Mr. Buckman's 

 types with the Woodwardian Museum (Cambridge, England). 



The Museum has also purchased of Mr. A. E. Wight a 

 considerable collection of Jamaican invertebrates and lower 

 vertebrates.
