USNM Curators Annual Report - Department of Reptiles: Annual Reports, 1886 & 1887

With the United States National Museum just five years old, the donation of reptile specimens increased noticeably. Specimens from Russia, Colombia, Mexico, Korea, the Caribbean and locations across the United States arrived in 1886 and 1887. Despite this boon, curator H. C. Yarrow still had some long-standing concerns. Join other volunteers to help us transcribe these reports from 1886 and 1887.
