[[underlined]] Routine Work[[/underlined]]. 47 new specimens have been added to the collection, many of which required identification, a matter of some difficulty in the majority of cases. The labelling of the entire collection may now be said to be finished, that is to say, all the labels for the specimens, at present on hand, have been sent in to the printer.
