[[underlined]] Special work accomplished [[/underlined]]

During the month of September, two cases in the bird hall have been entirely remodelled, their old platform shelves replaced by the standard adjustible shelves, and the outside and inside repainted. Before rearranging the specimens they were provided with exhibition labels, with the exception of the foreign species, labels for which have not yet been printed, though copy for them has been ready for several months. All the foreign species in one case, however, were provided with temporary written exhibition labels. 

Much special work has been done also in the way of original research, the most important of which has been the determination of a collection of birds from the Lower Amazon.
