I 



CONDITION OF THE SCIENTIFIC COLLECTIONS CON- 

 STITUTING THE STATE MUSEUM 



In my report of the past two years full statements have been 

 made concerning the general condition of the collections which, 

 from force of circumstances, have undergone no change during 

 the current year except in the increase shown by the list of ac- 

 cessions given on succeeding pages. For these accessions, which 

 excellently serve to indicate the public interest in the museum as 

 well as the assiduity of its staff, provision can be made only by 

 removal of other collections into storage.
