Mr. Warren K. Moorehead, Xenia, Ohio.  A large and valuable collection of prehistoric antiquities, mostly from the Ohio River Valley, lent by Mr. Moorehead for exhibition in the museum deserves special mention.  It is the result of year's of work in the field, and when the specimens were obtained from other sources he has the exact locality where found given, so that the identity of each specimens is secured.  It would be impossible to give a complete list of every specimen in the collection in this report, but it is enough to say that it contains examples of almost every object known to American archaeologists in the localities which he has investigated.  The objects from mounds are mounted separately.  Each specimen is numbered and Mr. Moorehead has a complete catalogue to which reference can be made at any time.  4710 specimens.  Accession 21695.
