[[wave underlined]] Special work accomplished [[/wave underlined]]
Owing to the absence of the curator on leaving during the greater part of the month very little special work was accomplished. He continued however, his identification of the collection made by the Elipse Expedition in West Africa. He also commenced to gather material for the annual report of the department.
A collection of living Chelonians from South Africa were identified for the National Zoological Park.
