Further work was done in rearranging the study collection and in helping Mr. Cherrie with his studies of Costa Rican birds. Some progress was made in conjunction with Dr. Stejneger, in determining Dr. Abbott's collection from eastern Africa and Madagascar. A collection of birds to supply desiderata of the Costa Rica National Museum was selected, invoiced, and packed for shipment; the manuscript of new instructions for collecting and processing specimens of birds has been revised and some additions made to it, and the work of making drawings with which to illustrate it has been supervised.

Very respectfully,
R.Ridgway
Curator, Department Birds.
