When I went to Japan, in 1886, I reserved a series of numbers in my register for my own use there, to avoid the necessity of remembering specimens on my return. These numbers began with 4501 and the last entry in June 1889, is 4761. These numbers apply only to the specimens collected by me in Japan.

I have recently received from the Hon. Curator of Materia Medica, a catalogue of chemical compounds, in which however, some entries of drugs have been made. This book will hereafter be used for the chemical preparations that may be received. My own entries in the book now range from 78051 to 78067.
