A relief-map, in stucco, of the southern portion of Perthshire and 
the Basin of the Tay has been purchased, and placed in position in 
the Geological case. It was carefully measured out and coloured 
from the geological survey maps by Miss Lowe and Mr. Rodger. 
The Index, or Type Museum. 
Reference has already been made to the progress of the Arctic 
Regional Case. The space being at present vacant, the offer by 
Dr. W. S. Bruce of the loan of a series of photographs, taken by 
the staff of the “Scotia,” during the Scottish National Antarctic 
Expedition was accepted, and these formed an additional attraction 
during the early months of this year. 
There was also received from Dr. Bruce, six representative birds 
from the Antarctic regions, taken during the same expedition. 
The Committee is again indebted to the Education Department 
for the aid granted by them to this Museum, to purchase a set of 
models illustrating the Life History of the Chick. They have also 
promised a grant towards the construction of the Arctic Regional 
Case. 
A series of descriptive labels has been prepared, and placed with 
the plant models referred to in the last Report. 
The fossil Eish-lizard, Ichthyosaurus multiscussus, reported last 
year, has now been placed in position over the Reptile Case.
