Professor Spencer F. Baird
Director U.S. National Museum
Sir.

I have the honor to make the following report of the work accomplished in my Section during the month ending April 30th 1882.

The twenty-five macerating jars of different sizes, asked for in requisition several weeks ago arrived during the month, and a number of them have been put to use; they answer their purpose admirably.

The thousand tickets of the style herewith enclosed, have been printed, but the boxes required some two months ago have not yet been received; they may be looked for however, any day now, and when at hand the card cataloging will begin.
