There is also a collection of Xorth American and foreign birds eggs. 10) Mammalia comprises over 8000 speci- mens. A large series representing all orders is mounted and arranged in systematic order, beginning with the duckbill and ending with the chimpanzee. In addition there are 12 real and artistic groups of large mammals, three to eight animals in each, mounted by Mr C. E. Akeley, showing much of their natural history. The valuable osteologic collection consists of mounted skeletons of over 225 species of animals, including, with few exceptions, all the important orders of the Vertebrata, and arranged in systematic order, paralleling the mounted speci- mens. Botany.

Among the specimens exhibited is a very fine and costly decorti- cation of a cork tree with three branches, considered to be the best example of dexterous bark peeling ever procured. Start- ing with the above material as a base, material that is unique in its completeness and museum character, other large series representing the source, utilization and character of a large number of vegetable products are being installed. These series begin with the source of each product and carry it through its processes to its completed form for utilization by man. 38 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Systematic collections. The herbarium contains over 150,000 sheets of plants principally from North America, the West Indies and Europe; comprises the former private herbariums of Dr Arthur Schott, notable for its United States boundary survey and Isthmus of Darien survey plants, and his Yucatec and Hungarian series; that of Mr M. S. Bebb, notable for the largest representation of the genus Salix in this coun- try; that of Mr Arthur A. Heller and of Mr Harry N.

Collections are intended mainly to illustrate the moire primitive or uncivilized phases of the development of the human race. There are two divisions of the subject^ and the col- lections illustrating them are separately installed. The first divi- sion consists of apparatus used in studying the greatly varied physical and psychic phenomena. The second comprises ex- hibits of the handiwork of man and of collections of crania, casts and other objects, articles and materials illustrating the physical characteristics of the race. The works of prehistoric peoples are brought together in groups according to locality from which they are derived, people, time, or stage of progress they are thought to represent, or, otherwise, with reference to some other special subject to be illustrated. Those of living or historic peoples are assembled according to the tribe or nation to which they pertain. The physical and psychic anthropologic collection consists of various kinds of apparatus obtained and set in place by Dr Joseph Jastrow, the Boas collection of skulls, trephined skulls from Peru, Papuan skulls, etc. Etlmology.

American, French, English and Swedish medals make up the remainder and illustrate histoTic events of great importance in these countries. Many of these coins and medals are rare, and their value in the study of history is great. Arrangement has been made to make this collection available for instruction in the university, and for this purpose it has been placed in charge of the professor of history, Dr George P, 'Garrison.

From the information at present on hand only a very incom- plete notice can be given. The tendency in most of the large cities seems to be to maintain colleotions of living animals and botanic departments in the public parks where the work has not already been undertaken by scientific societies. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA National zoological park, Washington. Director, ex ofQcio; S. P. Langley, seoretary of the Smithsonicm Institution; Frank Baker, superintendent; A. B. Baker, property clerk; W. H. Black- burne, head keeper. The number of animals in the collection, June 30, 1902, 883; estimated value of animals, $38,000. Approximate number of specimens : mammals, 123 species, 506 specimens; birds, 72 species, 232 specimens; reptiles, 32 species, >145 specimens. The aquarium is fitted with 17 tanks and usually contains from 40 to 70 species of fish and invertebrates, repre- sented by from 150 to 400 specimens. A small working library is maintained at the superintendent's office. Animals which die in the collections are sent to the United States national museum. 1 MINNESOTA Board of park commissioners, Minneapolis. J. A. Ridgway, seereta/ry. A limited zoologic garden under the direction of the super- intendent of public parks is maintained and contains 25 species, 166 specimens of mammals and 130 birds. NATTTKAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 215 NEW YORK Buffalo zoological garden, Buffalo. F. A. Crandall ]v,owat(»-. The collections consist of the following animals : mammals, 35 species, 159 specimens; birds, 24 species, 67 specimens; reptiles, ■6 species, 44 specimens. Bochester zoological park, Rochester. William Bausch, clumr- man of zoological cormmttee; O. C. Lang, supermtendent of parks. The collections consist of: mammals, 38 species, 141 speci- mens; birds, 80 species, 371 specimens; reptiles 3 species, 3 speci- mens. The New York zoological society, the aquarium, Battery park. -Charles H. Townsend, director. The collections consist of marine and fresh-water life and include only such forms as can be shown to advantage in tanks. While fishes constitute the main feature of the exhibit, batrach- ians, reptiles and seals represent the higher forms of life. Ascidians, crustaceans, worms, mollusks, echinoderms, anemones and corals, are among the lower forms shown. The New York aquarium has the largest buildings and the most extensive collections of marine and fresh-water life in the world. NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL PARK, Broux. William T. Hornaday, director. Collections of living animals: mammals, 141 species, 612 specimens; birds, 175 species, 1005 specimens; reptiles, 131 species, 1198 specimens. These numbers are subject to constant change. New animal houses are now being constructed and collections will be ex- tended as facilities for their accommodation increase. New York botanical garden museum, Bronx park. N. L.

The collection of 8000 Sipecimens is mainly the property of Columbia university. It was begun by the late Pi'of. J. S. Newberry and in addition to the exhibition series, contains specimens from almost every section of the world and from inc-ry geologic horizon. It is specially rich in North American forms. The Triassic Cretaceous and Tertiary plants are represented by specimens collected by the Hayden exploring expedition, Mis- souri and Yellowstone rivers 1859-60; the MoComb and Ives explorations of the Grand, Green and Colorado rivers 1859-61, and by an extensive suite of specimens from the clay beds of New Jersey, on which Dr Newberry based his Flora of the Amhoif clays. An exceedingly interesting local series is shown which was collected by Dr Arthur Hollick on Long Island, Block Island and Marthas Vineyard. The fossil plants are arranged ])rim- arily on the sequence of the geologic time divisions and are de- signed to show the snccession of plant life on the earth. Economic lotany. On the first floor of the building are 24 cases of drugs* in two series, crude drugs and refined drugs. The crude drugs are arranged morphologically, as from roots, stems, bark, flowers etc. to the whole plant. Eeflned drugs are first divided into products, and these arranged in their natural families. In this section is shown a collection of local poisonous plants; 20" cases of woods and wood products; 12 cases of fibers, 9 cases con- taining crude fibers and their products, 2 cases of wood paper and straw paper; one case of cork; 12 cases of foods and food plants. divided into three groups; 1 case of dry seeds and fruits,. 2 cases of fleshy seeds and fruits, 3 cases of herbs or parts of herbs or woody plants other than seeds or fruit. A collection of miscellaneous exhibits fills 20 cases as follows: 1 of turpentine and rosin; 3 of gums and resins; 2 of fodder plants; 1 of crude and refined sugars; 1 of tobacco; 2 of volatile oils, 1 of fixed oils; 1 of starches; 1 of chocolate; 1 of barley malt, beer and ale; 1 of grape juice and wines; 1 of cinnamon; 1 NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 217 of spices; 1 of licorice; 1 of soap-making, insect powders and miscellaneous vegetable products. The specimens throughout the economic museum are supple- mented by plates, pho1. 230 NEW TORK STATE MFSBUM Natural science association of Staten Island, 122-23. New Brighton (N.
