The specimens in the collections have been se- 

 lected with a view to supplying material required 

 in the Syllabus of Nature-Study issued by the Board 

 of Education. 



Each collection is accompanied by a set of 

 notes, brief but in the nature of suggestions to 

 teachers, giving facts on the structure, habits and 

 characteristics of the particular species in the collec- 

 tion. To the notes is appended a bibliography of 

 the subject treated.
