Brown 200 in Bermuda; 1,300 others were received from various 
donors. Messrs. Long and Van Pelt have voluntarily assumed care 
of the local herbarium, and some 4,000 specimens were added during 
the year. Mr. Van Pelt has devoted his time to poisoning and 
mounting the material, while Mr. Long has done much local field 
work, critically studied the material and identified and labelled it. 
Dr. Stone spent some time in arranging and sorting the lower 
orders in the Porter herbarium preparatory to having the specimens 
mounted. 
Specimens have been loaned for scientific study to Messrs. K. K. 
McKenzie, J. K. Small, Harold St. John, C. S. Sargent and M. L. 
Fernald.

Thirteen additions have been made during the year. The collection 
now numbers 8,193 specimens. The catalogue of the general Acad¬ 
emy collection has also been brought up to date and comprises 
8,508 entries. This collection has been rearranged by Mr. Gordon 
in trays under the cases in the archaeological hall, in -accordance 
with Dana’s classification (sixth edition), and is thus easily accessible 
for study or consultation. 
The local collection of minerals was thoroughly cleansed and 
rearranged geographically. While lacking a number of local minerals, 
it is good representative collection. 
All the rocks stored in various parts of the north museum building 
have been brought together and arranged in temporary cases of 
drawers by Mr. Gordon, following Rosenbusch’s system, so that 
they may be easily consulted.

In this department the material obtained by Mr. Clarence B. 
Moore’s expeditions has been placed on exhibition under his direction. 
Two cases were procured for the display of portions of the Wm. S. 
\aux Collections, which have been withdrawn from exhibition for 
several years, owing to changes in the hall during alterations. 
Two other cases wnre installed for exhibiting portions of the 
Pueblo pottery and basketry contained in the Gottschall Collection. 
This collection, comprising about 5,000 specimens, was presented
