The continued interest of Mr. W. J. Chalmers has been evinced by his gift of a fine series of moss agates from Montana showing remark- able landscape effects, and the addition of sixteen specimens, a num- ber of which are of high gem quality, to the crystal collection. These specimens include crystals of beryl from Brazil, tourmaline from Maine, tourmaline and kunzite from Madagascar, and quartz from Japan. Another addition to the gem collection was received from Ezra C. Knopf, who gave twenty-four specimens of rough and cut catalinite which provide a good representation of this semi-precious stone, A collection of over three thousand specimens of invertebrate fossils, besides some minerals, was presented by Mr. J. C. Langtry. This collection was gathered by the late C. B. Dyer, a well-known paleontologist, and is particularly notable for the large variety of specimens in it and the careful preparation of each. Besides repre- sentatives of several hundred species, the collection contains two para- types. The material constituting the collection was gathered chiefly in Ohio, but other districts are represented. The collection includes a number of beautifully preserved specimens of crinoids and trilobites well adapted for exhibition, and all of the material is so well worked out that it will lend itself readily to further study. A number of specimens of minerals from localities now exhausted is another valuable feature. A fine series of fossil plants, containing repre- sentatives of nineteen species fro
