The following accessions have been recorded ; Prof. G. F. Atkin- 
son, two specimens of algae, Frank S. Collins, six specimens New 
England algae. 
Synoptic Collection. 
Considerable work has been done by Mr. Henshaw during the 
year in the way of mounting and labelling both new and old ma- 
terials. 
Anatomical Collection. 
A few specimens have been added to this collection among which 
may be mentioned the cast of the bust of the deceased Chimpan- 
zee, named Mr. Crowley, which was received from the American 
Museum of Natural History of New York. These additions have 
been labelled ; also some accessions received in former years. 
Paleontology. 
Mr. Newell’s collection of Indiana Ceplialopods (described in the 
Proceedings, Yol. 23, p. 466) has been catalogued, mounted and 
labelled. 
A small collection of Dakota leaves received from Dr. G. F. 
Waters, and a number of specimens identified by Prof. E. D. Cope 
and Mr. C. D. Walcott have been catalogued, mounted and labelled. 
From the President, Mr. F. W. Putnam, we have received a 
small collection of fossils from the Serpent Mound, Ohio. 
Radiates. 
Most of the Gorgonias and some of the starfishes and corals have 
been labelled during the year by Mr. Henshaw. 
Mollusca. 
A large amount of critical work has been done upon the Gulick 
collection of Achatmellinm by Mr. Henshaw, and a special report 
and catalogue have been prepared in manuscript which will be 
printed when a final report is made upon this collection after it is 
mounted in the way proposed above. The separation of miscella- 
neous materials and their more or less complete identification and 
arrangement for exhibition or study has also made considerable 
progress. 
Mr. C. J. Maynard has presented types of a number of his new 
species of Strophia ; other accessions have been received from J. 
W. Fewkes, R. T. Jackson and E. W. Roper.
