A collection of the compounds of the human body, from Prof. W. O. Atwater.  This collection, in connection with the elements already noticed, is intended to represent the composition of the human body.  The specimens are on exhibition with temporary labels attached but the set is not yet complete.

The last number of the register of the year 1884 is 480, the last entry of June, 1885 is 547, making the total number of additions 167.

A report of the number of specimens in the collection, on exhibition or ^[[in]] reserve, cannot now be made, since an actual count would necessarily include many that will be thrown out, either as duplicate or imperfect specimens, or as having no place in the collection, when a systematic arrangement is undertaken.
