The figures this year are given as actual specimens received, not the number of examinations made as has been the custom in past years ; as several examinations may be made on each specimen, the figures this year appear lower than in previous years, but are in actual fact a marked increase in the amount of work done, and will serve as a more systematic guide for future comparison.
