Report for 1895

1. How has the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, compared with the previous year, as far as (1) the number of accessions and (2) their scientific value are concerned?

Answer
1. The fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, does not compare with the previous year in the number of specimens received, amounting only to 1953 or about one half as many; but their scientific value is fully as great, as quite a number of new species and subspecies were added to the collection.
