Abstract
THE annual Report of Prof. Baird, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, has just been issued. It relates to the period from July 1, 1885, to the close of June 1886, and includes, in addition to the account of the operations of the Institution itself, a summary of the work done by the branches of the public service placed by Congress under its charge, namely, the National Museum and the Bureau of Ethnology. To this is added a sketch of the work of the U.S. Fish Commission, which is also under Prof. Baird's charge, and of that of the U.S. Geological Survey, which, although independent of the Smithsonian Institution, is in close relation with it by reason of its field of exploration, and especially through the valuable accessions of material furnished by it to the National Museum.
