The eighth edition of the Guide was issued during the year, and 

 several improvements will be noted in its general make-up. The 

 descriptions of the collections, in several instances, have been cur- 

 tailed, thus making the book more convenient for ready reference- 

 This issue is illustrated which it is expected will add to its value 

 and interest.
