The system is worked má with rds no books of any sort 
being used. Others have in part discarded them, and Mr. E.

ne ister” and the * Catalogue," the cards of the register fang 
filed in the order of the accession numbers of the specimens, and the 
cards of the Р in the order in which the specimens are dig 
ed in the Museum

the Library Supply Company, measuring 3 ins. x 5 ins., and ruled as
