in the cabinets at 227 Sparks street. About eight hundred of these were 
obtained from the stored specimens; two hundred and two specimens were 
acquired by exchange material, comprising about one hundred and fifty 
species new to the collection. The placing of these in their systematic posi- 
tions involved a large amount of work and searching of the literature. Dr. 
Ferrier has also gone over the entire systematic collection and indicated 
by tags the specimens to be assigned to the display, reserve, and duplicate 
series, and the collection is now ready for numbering, labelling, and catalogu- 
ing. Of the eight hundred and twenty-seven numbered specimens in Dana’s 
Mineralogy five hundred and twenty-two are represented in the collection 
and two hundred and seven unnumbered species.
