2 [[embossed stamp in upper left corner]] CONGRESS HOLYOKE PAPER CO. [[/upper left corner]] [[underline]] U. S. Fish Commission [[/underline]: Naturalists of the S. S. "Albatross". - 624 specimens, 51 species, mostly from the Bahamas. The collection is of unusual interest, as not only containing several forms new to science, but also as extending our knowledge in regard to the distribution of the species on the individual island, on many of which no collections have been made previously, and in furnishing large series of many species which formerly were represented in the museum collections by only one or a few specimens. [[underline]] Dr. J. Schneck [[/underline]], Mt. Carmel, Ills. - A fine albino [[underline]] Buteo borealis [[/underline]], in the flesh. [[underline]] Hans, Graf von Berlepsch [[/underline]] Münden, Germany. - 60 specimens, 50 species. A valuable and interesting collection, chiefly consisting of desiderata from South America, among which are some types of several new species recently described by the sender. Nearly all the species are new to the collection.
