is a yearly increasing amount of such cooperation, and that the results 
are gratifying from every point of view. The University Museum is 
devoting to the work some of its appropriations and a considerable part 
of the time of its staff, the collections of the Agricultural College are 
at the disposal of the survey, at least five local naturalists are giving 
their best efforts to the work, and, what is by no means least important, 
we are receiving data and specimens from an increasing number of 
persons. In return, the survey is doing all it can, on the limited appro- 
priations, to be of service to the people of the state, by publishing re- 
ports, by furnishing information on biological subjects, by loaning speci- 
mens, and bv identifying material.
