REPORT ON OSTEOLOGY. 



By D. D. Slade. 



The osteological collection of Mammalia is in excellent con- 

 dition. A few additions have been made during the past year, 

 chiefly by the return to the Museum of skeletons that had been 

 sent to Prof. H. A. Ward for preparation. 



A few Cetacean bones from Florida have also been received 

 from the Smithsonian. 



The Fossil Vertebrates from the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and 

 Tertiary formations, collected in recent }*ears by Messrs. S. Gar- 

 man, Clifford, Allaman, and Hollywood, have been opened and 

 disposed in systematic order in the cases provided for them, and 

 are now ready for determination. 



A Systematic Catalogue of the entire osteological collection of 

 Mammals has been prepared.
