Accessions to Museum 
At the end of the fiscal year, March 31, 1936, the catalogued specimens 
of mammals numbered 14,113; of birds 26,675; of amphibians and reptiles 
4,875; and of plants 132,100. The greater part of the additions made 
during the year were the result of the revival of active field work after 
virtual cessation of such activities during the preceding four years. The 
catalogued additions of plants consist mostly of old material that has been 
mounted, numbered, and filed in the herbarium. A field party in Batcha- 
wana Bay region, east of lake Superior, in 1935 collected 8,000 to 10,000 
specimens of plants, comprising between 600 and 700 species and varieties. 
These are being worked up at the University of Toronto, and the acces- 
sions will be included in subsequent reports. 
A considerable number of zoological specimens were added through 
donations from other departments and private individuals. Particular 
thanks are due to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Lands, North- 
west Territories and Yukon Branch and the National Parks of Canada, 
Department of the Interior, for valuable collections made by members 
of their staffs. Mr. Harry Snyder, president of Champlain Oil Products, 
Limited, of Montreal, has presented the museum with valuable collections 
of big game animals taken on his northern expeditions of 1934 and 1935, 
including a beautiful group of wood buffalo and timber wolves mounted 
in their natural surroundings, and four wapiti from northeastern British 
Columbia, three white sheep from Nahanni mountains, Northwest Ter- 
ritories, and one caribou from region east of Great Slave lake.
