[Annual Meeting 
study necessary for such work is very great and consequently, 
although a general plan of the rearrangement has been sketched 
out and Miss Arms has devoted her energies to this collection for 
three days in each week, it will probably be some years before 
we can hope for a final report. 
Several drawings of different forms of Monera and Amoebinae 
for exhibition in this section have been made by Miss Martin and 
a descriptive text for these two groups and a part of the Forami- 
nifera prepared by Miss Arms. This last is a step towards 
the preparation of the Guide Book. 
Mr. Henshaw reports that he has done considerable work 
for the benefit of the entomological section of this collection and 
has revised the classification of the forms. Miss Martin has, 
under his direction, made preparations showing the external anat- 
omy of Periplaneta, Anabrus and Belostoma ; also a series of 
25 drawings of rare or minute forms. The following are the 
genera drawn : 
Linguatula. 
Psocus. 
Phylloxera. 
Apanteles. 
Tyroglyplius. 
Nirmus. 
leery a. 
Pteromalus. 
Tetranyclius. 
Menopon. 
Pulvinaria. 
Platygaster. 
Atax. 
Hemimerus. 
Phorodon. 
Strebla. 
Lepisma. 
Heliotkrips. 
Tingis. 
Lip ura. 
Haematopinus. 
Stylops. 
Oligotoma. 
Pediculus. 
Hexaplasta. 
Paleontology. 
Mr. Henshaw with the assistance of Miss Martin has unpacked 
and sorted the collection of paleozoic fossils purchased some 
years since from the Peabody Academy of Science. These are 
already in part named and mounted, and all are catalogued, but 
at present there is no room for the exhibition of desirable speci- 
mens in our Museum. It is now stored in 95 trays in our base- 
ment. 
Protozoa, 
An extensive series of models of the shells of Foraminiferae 
has been received as a donation from the Peabody Academy of 
Science at Salem.
