Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—Among the additions made during the year 1906 to the collections under the charge of the museums and lecture-rooms syndicate, special mention has been made in the forty-first annual report of the syndicate of school of botany, by Mr. Francis Darwin, of the scientific libratry of his father. Dr. E. C. Stirling has presented to the museum zooloogy a cast of a skeleton of the gigentic extinct marsupial Diprotodon australis, amd the Duke of Bedford two specimens of Przewalsky's horse from the collection at Woburn Abbey. The collection of antelopes has been largely increased, principally through the donations of Mr. C. B. C. Storey, Mr. A. L. Butler, Major W. B. Emery, and Captain E. Mackenzie Murray. The executors of the late Mr. J. S. Budgett have presented a number of specimens to the museum of zoology, and certain pieces of apparatus to the zoological laboratory. The Strickland curator directs attention to the completion of the late Prof. Newton's “Ootheca Wolleyana,” and to the fact that the whole of Prof. Newton's magnificent collection of palæarctic eggs becomes thereby the property of the University. Numerous anthropological gifts to the museum of human anatomy are recorded in the reports of Dr. Barclay-Smith and Dr. Duckworth.
