Professor Spencer F. Baird,
Director U.S. National Museum,
Sir, - 
During the month of December this office received no donations. 

One more box of duplicates were packed and turned over to the Registrar for storage.

83 labels have been turned in for printing, the majority of which, were for the colored plates illustrative of the anatomy of different plants. This work still continues, but, as might be expected, not as rapidly as under other circumstances, since they have now to be translated from the German into English.
