SIR, 

I ENCLOSE HEREWITH MY ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MATERIA MEDICA DEPARTMENT OF THE MUSEUM.  IT IS PROPER THAT I SHOULD SAY THAT THIS REPORT IS A COPY, WITH A FEW MODIFICATIONS, OF A REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE SURGEON-GENERAL OF THE NAVY A FEW WEEKS AGO.  IT OCCUPIES SOME OF THE GROUND COVERED BY MY REPORT LAST YEAR, BUT IS I BELIEVE A FAIR STATEMENT OF WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED UP TO THIS TIME.

VERY RESPECTFULLY,
^[[J W Flint]]
CURATOR MATERIA MEDICA.
