The general collection of typical objects in the Museum is now so large that more space can be given to special collections, and when enough specimens have been received from one locality to fill one or more trays they are separately exhibited. The following is a list of special collections which have been placed on exhibition during the year.

Transcription Notes:
This page has been lengthened by adding a section of paper to the bottom. It appears to be about the size of a sheet of legal pad. Lots of strikethroughs of ditto marks in columns are not transcribed for simplicity of showing columnar format.
