11 [[underline]] Special work done [[/underline]] In the way of special work done during the month of April may be mentioned the preparation of copy for labels for the exhibition series of foreign birds, of which the American or Neotropical have been taken in hand by the Curator, while the Old World species have been treated by the Assistant Curator. The preparation of this copy is a labor of considerable magnitude, involving as it does, not only the correct determination of the species but also the difficult matter of selecting or inventing suitable English names, much the larger number of foreign species never have been provided with names excepting those in Greek and Latin. It will probably be a month or more before the task is entirely finished.
