Bryant, and another smaller collection of Cuban shells from Dr. Gundlach. The additions have amounted to nearly 2,500 specimens, received from Drs. S. A. Bends, H. I. Bowditch, H. Bryant, J. Gund- lach, S. Kiieeland, A. S. Packard, and C. F. Winslow ; and Messrs. Bishop, Dall, Hubbard, Scudder, Shurtleff and Willis, and by purchase. The upper gallery is devoted to the remaining depart- ments. That of Herpetology occupies the wall cases at the eastern end. The collection consists of about 500 sp...ecies, not far from half of which are upon exhibition. This num- ber, though small, represents to a tolerable degree the Reptiles of New England, and contains some rare specimens from this, as well as foreign countries; it is much to be regretted, however, that the department wants some of the most common, even, of our Massachusetts reptiles, a deficien- cy which ought least of all to occur here, and which it is hoped will speedily be remedied, now that it is known. The Curator has been occupied during the past year, as fer as time and opportunity allowed, in continuing the identifica- tion and classification of the specimens under his care.
