[[strikethrough]]V.[[/strikethrough]] During the past year 12000 specimens, at a rough estimate, have been added to the collection. 

The last catalogue entry for June, 1890, is 572 and for June 1891 is 746. 
The entire collection was especially examined during the month of June in search of Museum pests, and found in a highly satisfactory condition.
