baboon, a mandrill, a Japanese macaque, a large mountain sheep, a 

 prong-horned antelope, harnessed antelope, a peccary, a large dusky 

 shark (Carcharinus obscurus), a fine dugong, ten feet in length, and 

 three heads of large mammals. 



In addition to the above, twelve large Mammal heads were repaired, 

 remounted, and hung in the mammal hall. 



The collection of mammals sent from the Museum and the exhibit of 

 the Society of American Taxidermists were unpacked and installed at 

 the New Orleans Exposition in the month of January, and in June were 

 repacked for return shipment, all of which greatly lessened the number 

 of specimens which would have been mounted during the half year. 



The following is a list of the mammals, etc., mounted in the taxider- 

 mic workshops from January 1 to July 1, 1885:
