REPORT OF THE CURATOR OF THE WILLIAM S. 
VAUX COLLECTIONS. 
The Curator of the William S. Vaux Collections reports that 
the mineralogical cabinet is in good order. There are a num¬ 
ber of specimens which, too large to be placed in the present cases, 
are exposed to the dust and liable to be injured. A special case 
should be provided for them. Since his appointment as Curator 
he has added 618 specimens to the collection, bringing the num¬ 
ber up to 7,780. 
The archaeological collection is also in good condition, but no 
additions have been made to it during the past year. 
Wm. W. Jefferis, 
Curator.
