NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS

OF THE

UNITED STATES AND CANADA

PREFACE

The lack of general and specific information concerning the
natural history museums of this country and their collections
has made it seem important to collate for publication all facts
concerning these educational mediums which could be obtained
directly or otherwise. |
_ With this aim, circular letters have been sent to all institu-
tions where collections or museums exist, asking for full de-
tails. From the replies received, the following directory has
been compiled and while many errors and omissions may be
found in this first edition, the aid of museum curators and ad-
ministrative officers throughout the country is solicited, in the
attempt to make the publication accurate and reliable.

To my assistants Mr J. N. Nevius and H. H. Hindshaw, who
have greatly aided me in the compilation, I desire to express my

obligations.

Economic geology. Sets of specimens from mines on the Pacific
coast: gold, silver, mercury, iron, copper and coal, showing for
each mine the ores, veinstones, wall rock, and other important
features. .

Structural geology. Fine models of the more interesting geolo-

gic regions, chiefly in the United States containing an excellent 7

relief map of the peninsula of San Francisco from 37° 30’ to the

Golden Gate, on a scale of 2 inches to the mile. salt

Iithology. Many hundred rock specimens from the eastern
states and territories, England and the European continent, and
a large number of California rocks collected by the state geo-
logical survey; also 3600 slides for microscopic study.

Zoology. Good collections of both invertebrates and verte-
brates. The collections of marine invertebrates from the Pacific
coast, specially of the groups Coelenterata, Crustacea, Echi-
nodermata, Annelida, Bryozoa, and Tunicata, are rich and are
being rapidly increased. There is a large type collection of Cali-
fornia molluscan shells, and besides a general collection in the
Same group of 2300 specimens. In entomology the agricultural
department possesses a collection of over 2000 determined
species of beetles. There is also a large collection of Lepidop-
tera. The collections of amphibians, reptiles, birds and mam-
mals are fairly representative of the California fauna in these
groups. The collection of Alaska birds and. mammals is good.

The collection of vertebrate skeletons has been greatly enriched

recently through a gift of about 50 new types. These were

selected with the view of supplementing the forms already
possessed; and the collection of types is now complete for the
purposes of general instruction in comparative anatomy. The
large Alaskan collections recently given to the university by
the Alaska Commercial Company have been recently transferred
to the new ferry building in San Francisco for temporary exhibi-
tion, and the natural history specimens are there available for
study by students carrying on investigations.

of which over a hundred are new species; a representation of
woods, cones and tree photographs; several hundred specimens
from the southern part of the state; a herbarium of the United
States grasses; an excellent representation of the flora and silva
of the southern Atlantic states; 1000 specimens from Oregon,
Washington and.North Dakota; a fine representation of the
Australian flora; several thousand specimens from eastern

United States; 4000 specimens of ferns, mosses, hepaticas,

marine algae, fungi, etc., and also the algae, fungi and lichens
of Prof. Setchell.

tons obtained from mounds and river gravels of the Pacific
coast, some presented by D. O. Mills and many more recently
collected by various expeditions sent out by Mrs Phebe A.
Hearst; wooden and stone implements, and other articles illus-
trating the manners and customs of the people of the Pacific

islands, presented by F. L. A. Pioche; rich Peruvian collections;

Indian utensils, a series of models of the cliff dwellings of New

Mexico and Arizona. Recently the Alaska Commercial Com-
_ pany has presented to the university its collection illustrative of

the habits of life of the Eskimos of Alaska and the Behring sea.

‘This collection has been in process of accumulation for many

years, andis very rich. Extensive collections in Egyptian arche-
ology are being constantly received from investigations carried
on in Egypt through the support of Mrs Phebe A. Hearst.

The collections belonging to the university were obtained from

Several sources. 1) The state geological survey contributed the

and ores illustrative of Pacific coast forms. 3) California

land shells and native ores and rocks from D. O. Mills. 4) A

costly mineral collection of James R. Keene. 5) The expedi-
tions of the various natural history departments. Type speci-

mens of new species and specimens illustrating various facts in —

the natural history of California’s marine fauna are placed in

Mineralogy. 29,527 specimens arranged in three general
Series; exhibition, study and duplicates. The exhibition series,
intended for the public and the student, is arranged under the
following heads: systematic series; comparative series; meteor-
ite collection; gem collection.

24 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM

The systematic series is divided into two general classes:
native elements and compounds of the elements. The compounds
of the elements are further divided and grouped under certain
heads according to their more negative constituents, as follows:

Compounds of the halogens, fluorids, chlorids, bromids and
iodids. Compounds of sulfur, selenium, tellurium, arsenic, and
antimony, including sulfids, selenids and tellurids, arsenids,
antimonids, sulfarsenids and sulfantimonids; also sulfosalts.
Oxygen compounds, including oxids and the oxygen salts, bo-
rates, aluminates, chromites, ferrites, manganites, plumbates,
arsenites and antimonites, selenites and te!lurites, carbonates,
silicates, titanates, columbates and tantalates, nitrates, vana-
dates, phosphates, arsenates and antimonates, sulfates, selenates
and tellurates, chromates, molybdates and tungstates, iodates

and uranates. Compounds of organic origin, including salts of —

organic acids and carbon compounds.

Each of these classes is further separated into groups accord-

ing to their chemical relationships. Each group is preceded by
a general group label stating the class to which it belongs, the
group name, a list of the minerals composing that group,
together with their chemical formulas, system of crystallization,
and a short description of the occurrence, association, and char-
acteristic form of each member of the group. Following the

group label, arranged in order from left to right, are the several.

members of the group selected to illustrate, as completely as
the conditions will permit, their occurrences, associations, color,
habit, ete.

Each specimen is mounted on a standard block, in front of
which is a small label giving the. name, locality, ete. of the
individual.

_In the comparative series the properties of minerals are de-
fined, illustrated and compared. In each case the label contain-
ing a definition of the property under consideration precedes a
series of specimens and, wherever they can be used advanta-
geously, a series of models illustrating that property.

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 25

The meteorite collection, including the Shepard and museum
collections, now contains several hundred specimens represent-
ing 336 falls. As in the other series, the collections are preceded
by introductory labels, on which are noted the more prominent
physical and chemical characters. of meteorites, together with
the classification here adopted. The arrangement of the two
collections is somewhat different, that of the museum being
geographic, while the Shepard collection is chronologic.

The gem collection now compares favorably with any other
public collection of this kind in the country, both in number and
kinds of stones exhibited. ‘ It is specially rich in those gems and
ornamental stones which occur in the United States.

The study series inc!udes materia! appealing exclusively to
the specialist and is the source from which new exhibition series
may be built, or old ones strengthened. It contains all that
material which has been the source of investigation, or may
be made the subject of research; together with those specimens,
illustrating the occurrence and associations of a mineral in any
one locality, that are not needed in the exhibition series, or
which are not unnecessary duplications of the material already
on hand. It also contains all original or type material belong-
ing to the department. This is brought together in a case of
drawers reserved for that purpose, and all type or original speci-
mens which are not needed to complete the exhibition series are
placed here together with a copy or abstract of the original »
papers, and a bibliography of publication in which the work has
appeared. Those types used in the exhibition series are here
indicated by cards giving their exact position in the cases.

The duplicate series includes all material not needed for the
exhibition or study series, and from it all exchanges, gifts, etc.,
are made up.

- Historic and economic geology and lithology. Four distinct series
of specimens: exhibition series, 23,097 specimens; study series,
28,911; microscopic slides, 4700; duplicate series, 77,863 of all

in clear type and each case is furnished with explanatory labels
giving notes of classes, orders, families, etc., and in addition
pictures, maps and models are profusely used where they will
in any way add to the understanding of the objects exhibited. A
limited number of well selected specimens are exhibited for the
public, mounted on heavy binders board tablets, covered with
light-faced manila cardboard, which is not seriously aifected by

MARYLAND

Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore. William Bullock Clark,
professor of geology, assisted by Harry F. Reid, professor of geo-
logic physics; Edward B. Mathews, associate professor in miner-
alogy and petrography; George B. Shattuck, associate professor
of physiographic geology.

The paleontologic and geologic collections are described in the
university publication, Retrospect of 20 years, 1876-1896, as fol-
lows.

The collections of the geological department consist primarily
of a large amount of material brought together from Maryland
and adjacent states of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and
New Jersey, and include representatives of most of the important
rock types, fossils and minerals from the several formations of
this territory. The collections are especially rich in crystalline
rocks and in Cretaceous and Tertiary fossils. Some of this ma-
terial has already been described, while much awaits further
study. In addition to the large amount of material thus brought
together from the surrounding region, the following special col-
lections form a portion of the university’s possessions:

The Williams collection contains several thousand objects,
consisting of extensive suites of specimens and of thin sections.
of minerals and rocks from the best known and most thoroughly
studied localities in both Europe and America. They have re-

cently been presented to the university by Mrs Williams.

The Lewis collections of rocks and thin sections, numbering
over 1000 specimens, have been. deposited with the university
by Mrs Lewis. These specimens were collected by the late Prof.
H. Carvill Lewis, and include carefully selected materials,.
especially from Pennsylvania, Germany, Switzerland and South
Africa.

The Krantz collection of fossils contains several thousand
specimens from the best known localities in Europe, being repre-
sentative of all the different horizons.

The Hill collection contains a large number of specimens of
rocks and characteristic fossils from the Cretaceous formations
of Texas, collected by Prof. R. T. Hill, of the United States
geological survey. It was presented to the university by Messrs
Jesse Tyson, Francis White, Mendes Cohn, W. T. Dixon and
D.C. Gilman. , |

The Stiirtz collection comprises a suite of over 400 hand speci-
mens and accompanying thin sections. These represent the rocks.

cited by Prof. Rosenbusch in his Mikroskopische physiographie and
are from the type localities.

The Lehmann collection, a suite of specimens and thin ‘sections
gathered by Prof. J. Lehmann, was sent by him to the university
to illustrate his well known work on the crystalline schists.

The Allen collection of minerals, which is especially rich in
early discoveries from American localities, includes many of the
type specimens illustrating the papers of Prof. O. D. Allen, late
of Yale university.

There are also private collections made by Prof. Clark and
others of the department; also numerous small collections ac-
quired by gift, exchange or purchase, among others from the
United States national museum, the national surveys of Russia
and Canada, the universities of Berlin, Géttingen, Harvard,
Yale, Gia. Iowa, Michigan, Alabama, Cbernds well as from
individuals in this country and in Europe.

Apparatus. Among the models are the following:

1 A set including Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South
America, United States and Pennsylvania, placed in the custody
of the ieee by E. H. Butler & Co. of Philadelphia.

2 A large relief of the state of Maryland on the scale of 2
miles to an inch prepared for the World’s Columbian exposition
and deposited by the state geological survey.

3 A model of Baltimore and vicinity on the scale of 4 inches
to the mile without vertical exaggeration, all of the above being
the work of Cosmos Mendelef of Washington.

4 The Shaler and Davis models illustrating the development
of topographic form and geologic structure.

5 The Heim models showing the structure of volcanic cones,
glaciers, Alpine valleys and coast lines.

6 Models illustrating the development of the Ammonites and
the different types of Foraminifera.

7 Several hundred models illustrating different phases of geol-
ogy, paleontology and mineralogy.

In addition to the above there are several hundred lantern

slides and photographs.

Inbrary. The library in geology is very large and: rapidly
increasing. It contains over 6000 bound volumes and 10,000
unbound volumes and pamphlets, among them the libraries of
the late Professors Williams and Lewis and the meteorologic
library of Prof. Cleveland Abbe, besides several large collec-

tions of books recently purchased by friends of the university.

The library is particularly rich in books of reference, contain-
ing full sets of most of the important journals as well as the
publications of foreign official surveys and museums. The

books cover the fields of general geology, paleontolvey, petrog- |

raphy, economic geology and mining.

searches. The departments of mineralogy, geology, synoptic

botany and zoology and paleontology are preceded by an ex- ©

planatory department giving illustrations of the principles of
dynamic geology and biology. Each of these is limited in its
scope, so far as exhibition is concerned, so as to teach as far as
practicable, the evolution of typical structures and forms. These
together form the educational series. Above these are placed —
the systematic collections in exactly the same order, the prin-
ciple being that each department in its public exposition shall
be a lesson in evolution founded on the available gradations of
forms, and the whole series of departments repeat and enforce
this proposition. The birds are not included in this arrange-
ment. They have been placed on exhibition in accordance with
old-fashioned standards. There is now also a New England col-
lection in each department. These will be eventually collected
into one grand series to form a New England museum which,
it is hoped, will not be limited in its scope, but will strive to
give a complete presentation of the natural history of New
England.

against the walls. |

The lower or main floor contains the systematic collection
arranged according to Dana’s system, including about 10,000
Specimens with the special collections arranged in the upper
floor or gallery. The latter include a collection of 600 agates,
partly cut and polished, collections illustrating thé physical
characters of minerals, and will ultimately include a small col-
lection of rocks. In the gallery is the Hamlin. collection of —
tourmalins, from Paris Me., the largest in existence. The col-
lection of meteorites includes examples of 291 falls with a total —
weight of 2700 pounds; in 24 falls the museum has the largest —
amount of that fall. In the laboratories and workrooms con-
nected with the museum are duplicates, specimens used for
teaching etc., which bring the total mineral specimens worth
enumerating to about 25,000; there are also a great many thou-
sand specimens of rocks, with thin sections. The mineralogic
museum includes a large number of rooms amply equipped for |

research and teaching, including a chemical laboratory, work-
shop equipped with power, room for work with optical instru-
ments, drawing room and laboratories for students. ,

‘Comparative zoology. The exhibition space in the synoptic
department is divided into a series of rooms, 30x40 feet, devoted
to. systematic collections of typical animals, represented by
mounted skins, skeletons, alcoholic and other preparations, with
the object of showing the natural relationship of one class of
animals with another. There are also collections to illustrate
geographic distribution and rooms devoted to faunal collections
of Europe, South America, etc., and to the faunal regions of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

The bulk of the collections are stored in trays or drawers
systematically arranged so as to afford easy reference and
associated with such books and facilities as may. be needed for
their study.

There is no information obtainable as to the extent of the
collections in this museum.

Botany. The Botanical collections comprise (1) the Gray
Herbarium, containing more than three hundred thousand
sheets of mounted specimens. (2) the Cryptogamic Herbarium,
and cases for the display of selected specimens to illustrate the
principal groups of algae, fungi and lichens. (3) the Economic
Museum, having, besides the material for investigation and
comparison, exhibition cases filled with specimens illustrating
the useful plants and their products. (4) the Ware Collection
of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants and Flowers, now contain-
ing about seven hundred complete specimens of plants in flower,

together with about thirty five hundred analytical details.

The private collection of Prof. C. H. Fernald consists mainly
of Microlepidoptera comprising nearly all of the described
species of the family Pterophoridae of North America and
Europe and many from South America; all the types of Fitch
except one which is not in existence; all the types of Fish as.
well as his own types and cotypes of nearly all of the species de-
scribed by Lord Walsingham from North America. It includes.
about nine tenths of all the types of the described species of
North America belonging to this family. tae

Of the Tineina it contains a large number of authentically
named species of North and South America together with all of
his own types, a large number of those of Chambers and Miss.
Murtfeldt and cotypes of most of the species described from
North America by Lord Walsingham.

Of the Pyralidae it contains authentic specimens of nearly
all the described North American species, and many from
Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, South America,
Europe and other parts of the world; all of his own types and
many cotypes of Hulst.and Grote. This collection is rendered
more valuable from the fact that the owner has compared it
with all the collections in all the American and European mus-
eums containing types of North American species and critically
compared and marked as homotypes such as were thus proved
to be exactly like the types.

The number of species of the family Tortricidae in this collec-
tion is larger than that of any other collection in existence, be-
ing about twice as large as that of the British Museum and three
times as large as that of the Berlin or Vienna museums with
which it has been compared. It contains a very large number of
types and cotypes as well as homotypes having been compared
by the owner with nearly all of the Tortricid types in existence.

Botany. This collection consists of a herbarium in which all
classes of plants are represented except the algae. It also con-
tains sections of most of our Massachusetts woods, many forms.

The herbarium includes about 15,000 species of flowering
plants and about 10,000 species of cryptogams, the latter repre-
sented by mosses, lichens and fungi.

The only specimens for exchange are the few duplicates of
English mosses collected by Baker.

the domestic life and industries of the early settlers of the
town.

This museum is connected with the public library, both of
which were established and built by popular subscription for the
purpose of preserving historic matter and relics of olden times.
It is therefore almost exclusively of local interest, with little, if
anything, for general exchange.

Society, founded in 1799, and has had an uninterrupted existence
since that date.

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 79

One of the objects of the society was to form a museum of
natural and artificial curiosities. The museum was begun at
this time by the donation of the extensive private collection of
Capt. Jonathan Carnes.. Owing to the unusual facilities enjoyed
by the earlier members of the society some of the results now
attained are the Korean collection, one of the most important
in the country; the Japanese collection, which is by far the
largest in the world; and important collections of ethnologic
material from the South Sea islands.

The museum is also rich in local material. The collections
in botany, zoology and mineralogy of Essex county being very
complete.

Since 1867 large additions have been received from the Essex
institute and through the trustees and director of the academy.

There is also in the museum a historical collection of portraits
of prominent Salem merchants, members and officers of the
East India marine society, together with many interesting relics
connected with the early history of that institution, and models
and pictures of Salem merchant vessels, a suggestive memo-
rial of the commercial history of the city.

Collections are in the custody of the University of Minnesota
at Minneapolis and are described with the other collections of
that university.

The geologic survey was concluded early in 1901. The publi-
cations remaining on hand were turned over to the general
library of the University of Minnesota, William W. Folwell,
libranian. Work in botany proceeds under the charge of Con-
way MacMillan and in zoology under Henry F. Nachtrieb, both
of the same university.

University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. This institution has no
distinctively university museum. It is however, charged with
the care of the museum to be created by the geologic and
natural history survey. The departments of zoology and botany
have study collections which are not considered separate from
the collections of the museum embraced under the geologic and
natural history survey, and the heads of the departments are
in charge of their respective collections. Conway MacMillan,
professor of botany; C. W. Hall, professor of geology and miner-
alogy; Henry F. Nachtrieb, professor of zoology.

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 99

One of the most important collections in the geological
museum is that made by the expeditions to Patagonia conducted
by J. B. Hatcher in 1896-99. This consists of a very extensive
series of Cretaceous and Tertiary invertebrates, including a
large number of types of new genera and species, and of about
2000 mammals from the Patagonian and Santa Cruzian (Miocene)
beds.

The mammals are remarkable not only for their variety, but
also for their state of preservation, very many complete or
nearly complete skeletons, representative of all the orders, being

_ among them.

These collections form the subject of the forthcoming Reports
of the Princeton wnwersity expeditions to Patagonia, now in course
of publication. — |

Mineralogy. About 10,000 specimens. 2600 specimens: mostly
crystals, bequeathed to the university by the late Archibald
MacMartin of New York. The perfection of the specimens and
the number of localities represented by each species make this
collection one of special value.

There are also three cabinets of mirerals in the laboratory of
the school of science. The principal one contains over 5000 speci-
mens, embracing nearly every mineral species. Twosmaller cabi-
nets, one with labeled and the other with unlabeled minerais, are
provided for practice with the classes, and to these the students
have free access.

A very fine collection of New Jersey zinc and iron minerals
from the Sterling mines was recently presented to the university,

and is exhibited in the main laboratory.

Historic geology. A unique collection of 5000 specimens of er-

-ratic boulders and drift material from Switzerland; a systematic

Series of the typical rocks and fossils of New Jersey; and one

specimens of typical rocks, together with a large number of
Fuess’s and other rock sections for study.

Zoology. 1600 mounted and disarticulated skeletons of
mammals, birds, reptiles and fishes. There are over 12,000
specimens in the ornithologic collections starting with a
mounted collection of representative New Jersey birds. The

relations of these to the avifauna of the world is shown by col- |

lections of unmounted skins in the following groups: North
America, Europe, Indo-Australiia and South America. The
South American collection has been materially augmented
through the work done by the Hatcher expeditions to Patagonia,
the results being some 600 birds. ‘The collections are further
supplemented by some four thousand sets of eggs, many of them
in nests, as well as much alcoholic material and many skeletons.
2000 European and Asiatic birds have recently been received
through exchange with the British museum of natural history.
Mr W. E. D. Scott is curator of ornithology.

Among the invertebrates are a series of ascidians, echino-
derms, mollusks, 5000 specimens; corals, 6000 specimens; sponges
and microscopic preparations of small forms. 1500 prepara-
tions illustrating comparative morphology of the vertebrate
organs.

working laboratory for students. The plants are classified ac-
cording to the Pflanzenfamilien of Engler & Prantl and include
Specimens from the different sections of the United States and
from South America, Europe and Australia. Recently the her-
barium has been increased by the addition of collections of hepa-
ticae, mosses and other plants, made by Dr Hatcher in western
Patagonia and Fuegia.

There are extra specimens for laboratory use and for dissection,
together with the necessary library and instruments.

productions of Greek and Roman coins and gems; specimens of
Greek and Roman marble; a collection of bronze medals; casts
of ivories from the Roman to the Gothic period. A series of casts
from the arch of Trajan at Beneventum has been recently added.

The Trumbull-Prime collection, illustrative of the history of
pottery ard porcelain, has been arranged in new cases. Egypt is
represented by sepulchral figurines, beads and amulets; Pheni-
cia by numerous Cypriote vases; Greece, Etruria and southern
Italy by Corinthian aryballi and fine examples of larger vases of
black figured and red figured types. The Orient is further illus .
trated by specimens from Persia, China and Japan; South Amer-
ica by Peruvian pottery. The collection is rich in examples of
European wares, to which England, France, Germany and Hol-
land are the chief contributors, but Italy, Russia, Sweden and
Switzerland are also represented. The collection comprises
about 20,000 specimens. A small room in the same story con-
tains a collection of pottery loaned by Mrs W.S. Livingston and
is noteworthy for the illustrative material it furnishes for the
early history of our country.

The staircase and basement are occupied by carefully selected
specimens of casts of ancient and medieval sculpture, presented

partment. The department also contains a large and growing
herbarium, as well as collections of fruits, cones, nuts, fibers, a
general collection of economic products, and a large number of
specimens of the woods of different countries.

The flora of the region of Ithaca is very rich in species, and
presents excellent opportunities for the student of systematic
botany, and some facilities in the study of geographic botany.

Excellent facilities are offered to the students who are fitting
thémselves for (experiment) economic work in the courses of
plant histology and in the study of the fungi. While the labora-
tory is distant from the seashore, it is well supplied with ma-
terial of the marine algae for morphologic and developmental
study of typical forms, and material preserved specially for the
purpose is also supplied for investigations in development.

The collections also include the Auzoux and Brendel models

representing the different groups of the plants, and other illus-

trative material in the way of charts, maps, etc.

Archeology. Collections are in a department by themselves.
The museum of classical archeology, occupying the first floor of
McGraw hall, is composed chiefly of casts representing the his-
tory of Greek and Roman sculptural art, but is also supplied
with various plans, models, reconstructions, facsimiles of coins,
ete. The nucleus of the collection was purchased with a fund of
$7000 donated for the purpose by the Hon. Henry W. Sage. The
instruction in archeology and history of art is given in part in the
museum itself.

There is also a series of several thousand photographs of an-
cient ruins and architecture.

The Glen Island museum is) maintained and arranged for the
instruction and entertainment of visitors to the resort, and is not
intended so much as a place for research as for popular illustra-
tion in the various branches of natural history. To this end,
special attention is being given to the descriptive labeling of
specimens, and to the use of pictures, specially with the ethno-
logic exhibits. Typical, large, showy specimens receive the pref-
erence over the rarer forms prized by museums of research, but
a strict standard of authenticity is maintained in all the collec-
tions. :

124 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM

Historic and structural geology. An introductory collection,
about 300 specimens, is arranged to illustrate geologic terms
and definitions; a systematic collection, about 3000 specimens of
rocks arranged in ascending series, with explanatory labels and
maps showing distribution, represent the geology of the state.
There is also a collection containing 3000 specimens mostly col-
lected by the older geologists of the state survey. This con-
tains many large coral masses and slabs of fossiliferous rocks.
A number of large specimens illustrate various structural fea-
tures.

A good series of relief maps constitute a prominent feature
of the museum. It includes the following models: southern
New England, scale 2 miles to the inch; New York city and
vicinity, scale 1 mile to the inch; Manhattan island, scale 1000 —
feet to the inch, showing the present street system aud the
roads and topography as they existed in 1776 ; Manhattan island,
scale 1000 feet to the inch, colored to show the geology; Catskill
mountains, scale 1 mile to the inch, showing the exact propor-
tion between elevation and distance; Adirondack mountains,
scale 1 mile to the inch; Syracuse and vicinity, scale 1 mile to
the inch; Niagara gorge and vicinity, scale 500 feet to one inch.

Lithology. The collections are large but are mostly stored for
want of exhibition room. The exhibition material includes: the
Rosenbusch collection of massive rocks, 500 specimens; 100
specimens of foreign and domestic marbles and a series of rocks
from the crystalline areas of the state.

Collections of the rocks of the state and of New Hampshire,
the Rohn collection of rocks of the Lake Superior region and a
series of sandstones and crystalline rocks of Pennsylvania are
in storage. ,

Economic geology. There are very complete series of the state
collections on exhibition.

75 12-inch dressed cubes constitute the main exhibit of build-

ing stones. There are also columns, slabs, etc. of marbles and
granites and a large number of specimens of extralimital
material, principally of such stones as are of commercial import-
ance in the state.

The iron ore collection includes a series of large masses of
magnetite, hematite, limonite and siderite from mines which

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 125

have been extensively worked, also very complete series of
smaller specimens. The nonmetalic minerals are shown in a
series of large cases and include very complete series of New
York salt with supplementary material from England, Germany,
and other salt-producing localities. Gypsum, lime, cements,

- quartz, feldspar, garnet, corundum, graphite and all other

minerals of the state are exhibited in series from the crude
material to the manufactured product. A series of New York
state oils and specimens of the oil-bearing rocks and sands are
shown. A large collection of clays and clay products fills all
the space which can be devoted to it.

Paleontology. 1,000,000 specimens, mostly Paleozoic inverte-
brates derived from the New York formations; including up-
ward of 5000 type and figured specimens which have been used
in the publications on New York paleontology; also many
unique specimens of Paleozoic fish. Most of the fossils are in
boxes and drawers in the State Hall, not many on exhibition but
all accessible to students. Fine slabs of medusae, crinoids,
crustaceans and trails are here exhibited. The types are syste-
matically arranged in the laboratory of the state paleontologist
except for those on exhibition in Geological Hall.

In Geological Hall a series of 7000 typical specimens arranged
Stratigraphically to show the characteristic fauna of each for-
mation. Although this collection has been made with special
reference to New York, materials from outside have been freely
used to complete the series up to and including the Carbonifer-
ous. A number of large Devonian trees and algae are exhibited
and also slabs of trilobite, worm and reptilian tracks from vari-
ous formations.

There is also a series of European Paleozoic invertebrates; a
series of more recent invertebrates, largely Huropean; the Co-
hoes mastodon (mounted); the Monroe mastodon (unmounted);
a nearly complete skeleton of the Irish elk; a series of casts of
large vertebrates and other vertebrate remains.

Mineralogy. 10,000 specimens, including the Gebhard, the
Albany institute, the Emmons and the Kuntz collections. A
Systematic collection of 3000 specimens many of which are from
the old iron and other mines of the state; an economic collec-

18, casts 22, skeletons 12, teeth, jaws, etc. 10.

INVERTEBRATES. 250 species, 1786 specimens identified, a con-
siderable number still unnamed. LBesides these the museum
possesses large collections of shells, including the Gould collec-
tion with 6000 species and some 60,000 specimens, a collection
of shells from Mazatlan presented by Mr P. P. Carpenter, and a
collection of New York shells specially rich in Unionidae.

The zoologic collections are mainly intended to represent the
fauna of New York state.

Entomology. The Lintner memorial collection comprising
some 4800 species, is specially rich in Noctuidae, and though
not on exhibition, is open to students. Large additions are
made yearly to the extensive biologic and systematic collections
which are being arranged and classified as rapidly as means
will permit. These are accessible only to specialists. There is
a general exhibit of the more important insects affecting fruit
trees, small fruits, garden crops and grains, comprising about
100 species and representing the various stages of each insects
development together with its work so far as material permits.
A special collection of species annoying or destructive about
houses and those affecting stored products has been arranged
along similar lines. A small collection of beneficial insects
illustrates some of the more important of these forms and
another of scale insects gives a good idea of the general appear-
ance of members of this exceedingly destructive group. The
forms injurious to forest and shade trees are well represented,
the various stages and methods of work being illustrated in the
two latter groups so far as possible. There is a special col-

small systematic collection of over 600 species and representing
most of the important groups. In addition there are small
collections in Denton tablets illustrating protective mimicry and

some of our more beautiful native butterflies and moths, and a

technical collection of 60 different articles illustrates the
methods of collecting and preserving insects. Another col-
lection representing the principal differences between the com-

_ mon, malarial and yellow fever mosquitos is on exhibition and

small collections illustrating the species commonly occurring

in spring, summer and fall and those of interest on account of

unusual form, size or other characters are exhibited for the
convenience of teachers and their pupils.

Botany. The space in Geological Hall assigned to the botanic
department is on the second floor in the southern extension of
the building. It is divided into two rooms. The front room
is used for exhibition purposes and contains sections of the
trunks of 75 of the trees native to New York, which are cut to
show the vertical, transverse and tangential sections, one half
of each section being polished and the other being left unfinished
in order to give an idea of the appearance of the wood. There —
are also some specimens of historic interest and specimens
showing various forms of injuries to trees and their natural
repair. Photographs of trees and thin sections of their wood are

exhibited in swinging frames, supported by upright standards;

a collection of edible and poisonous mushrooms and an economic
collection are shown in table cases. The rear room contains
the office of the botanist, the library, the herbarium and work-
shop.

The herbarium contains about 9000 sheets of New York plants
excluding fungi, 10,000 fungi and 25,000 sheets of extralimital
species and duplicates. |

Hihnology. A large collection of material pertaining almost
entirely to the Indian tribes of the state, including masks, pot-
tery, arrowheads, spearheads, amulets, scrapers, clothing, cradle
frames, etc., is on exhibition on the fourth floor of the capitol.

Zoology. 1000 specimens: considerable invertebrate material;
‘South American mammals and birds; native fauna, and many
typical forms of vertebrates in general.

Botany. The collection is for teaching rather than for illus-
trative purposes and consists largely of algae and fungi.

Ethnology. Considerable material not on exhibition, and not
fully classified.

The museum includes the Ward collections in mineralogy,
lithology, paleontology and phenomenal geology. These are the
original collections of Prof. Henry A. Ward, and were accumu-
lated by him through many years of labor and extensive travel

-in execution of a plan to create a complete museum of geology
for use in teaching. The material thus successfully gathered
was purchased in 1862 for the university, through the generosity
of the citizens of Rochester, for the low price of $20,000. At
that time it was the largest and choicest geologic collection in
America, including about 40,000 specimens, handsomely
mounted and labeled, and probably remains today unsurpassed
in proportion and quality by any similar collection.

This museum is open to the public, and offers to the peopie

The collections are almost exclusively economic, and are in-
tended to represent in the best manner possible the commercial
products and commerce of all countries of the world. They are
at present classified under five principal heads: 1) materials of
plant origin—including woods, fibers, tans, dyes, gums, resins,
oil seeds, oils, coffees, drugs, tobaccos, grains, fruits, foods,
herbariums, etc.; 2) materials of animal origin—wools, hairs,
furs, skins, pelts, hides, food fishes, shellfish, silks, waxes,
honeys, cochineal, sponges, pearl, etc.; 3) materials of inorganic
origin—ores and metallurgic preparations, coals, petroleums,
clays, coloring earths, salts, flints, suifurs, building materials,

c.; 4) materials showing the habits and customs of nations—
garments, ornaments, models of boats, carts, barrows, cars
and other vehicles, utensils of domestic use, agricultural imple-
ments, weights, measures, legal forms and commercial headings,
current money, games, weapons, musical instruments, etc.;
5) manufactured goods including articles imported by vari-

ous countries except from the United States, articles made i

in various countries for home consumption, articles made in ©

various countries for export.

The collections are rich in all decutnetts and all told include
about 250,000 specimens (estimated carefully). Particular men-
tion should be made of the collections of foreign cabinet woods,
fibers, gums and resins, grains, drugs, coffees, raw silks, raw
wools and manufactured textiles, all of which are probably
unsurpassed. A herbarium has recently been established which
contains 7000 specimens and is growing rapidly. Mention
should be made of a type collection of reptiles from Colombia,
which includes some 13 new species described by the late Prof.
Cope in a paper not yet published.

An extremely. important department is the Commercial
museum’s bureau of information. Its primary object is to pro-

mote international trade, particularly the foreign commerce of

the United States. To this end, it gives information of the

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 157

natural resources and raw products of all countries. It has
thousands of correspondents in commercial centers of the world,
and at frequent intervals sends members of its staff to the four
quarters of the globe. This information thus secured is placed
at the disposal of American business men, and the activity of
the museum in this direction is a principal and very potent
factor in the promotion of American trade abroad.

The American section contains a very complete exhibit of
antiquities from the cliff dwellings of Colorado presented by

160 © NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM

Mrs Phere A. Hearst, and a similar exhaustive collection from
Pachacamac, Peru, excavated by Dr Max Uhle and given by
the late Dr William Pepper. These are displayed on two sides
‘of the principal American hall. Lack of space prevents the
public exhibition of other American collections, although the
latter are available for purposes of study. They comprise a
large and representative series of antiquities of the eastern
United States, mound pottery and ,elics, and some 3000 Ameri-
can craniums; and are supplemented by extensive collections
from existing tribes, notably a fine Eskimo collection from
Point Barrow, Alaska, the gift of the Hon. John Wana-.
maker, and an extensive collection made during 1900-2, also at
the expense of Mr Wanamaker. The Brinton library of works
on American ethnology and linguistics, deposited by special —
arrangement with the university trustees in the museum
library, greatly facilitates research in these departments.
Mexico and Central America are represented by casts of monu-
ments and valuable collections of pottery and stone implements.

The general ethnologic collections are contained in three
halls, one of which is devoted to the Furness, Harrison and
Hiller collections from Borneo. The same donors have recently
presented a similar valuable series from the Naga Hills in
Assam, and a representative series illustrating the life of the
Ainos of Japan has recently been received from Mr Alfred C.
Harrison and Dr H. M. Miller. Notable features of this section
are comparative collections of musical instruments, fans and |
games, as well as a comprehensive collection of coins. Korea,
China, Japan, Siam, Burma, Morocco ee Russia are also
represented by large exhibits.

The Babylonian and general Semitic section contains a large
and extremely valuable collection of antiquities, the greater
portion of which is the result of extensive excavations of the
ruins of Nippur, in central Babylonia. Much time and labor
have been expended in a thorough exploration of the principal
mound of these ruins, which covers the temple of Bel, presum-
ably the oldest sanctuary in Babylonia. Among the most:
important objects thus secured are about 35,000 cuneiform
documents in clay. The Babylonian museum is the most im-
portant in America, and ranks immediately after the British

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 161

museum and the Louvre. The cuneiform documents of the fourth
and second millennium B. C. can nowhere be studied to greater
advantage. Hundreds of terra cotta and glass vases; Hebrew
and Syriac bowls; about 700 fragments of the most ancient
‘nscribed stone vases and votive tablets; nearly 600 seal cylin-
ders; clay coffins; charms; a large amount of gold and silver
jewelry, and other objects of art; all serve to illustrate the life
and customs of the ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia, and of
the Semites in general. The committee in charge having, in
1898, obtained from the sultan a firman granting permission
to continue its excavations at Nippur for a term of three years,

and having raised $30,000 for the purpose, deemed it expedient

-

to concentrate its efforts on two seasons. The wisdom of this
decision has been justified by the importance of the results.
Foremost among these is the discovery of the library of the
temple, from the ruins of which large numbers of precious
ancient documents have been exhumed, and brought to the uni-
versity where they will be published.

Under the reorganization of the department, which took place
in 1899, the section of casts has ceased to exist. Already, in
1898, the committee had voted the funds at its disposal to the
Egyptian and Mediterranean section for the purpose of: secur-
ing some original ancient sculptures; and the casts acquired
through its efforts were distributed and installed in the sections
to which they respectively belonged. Thus the reproductions
of important Central American monuments from Quirigué and
Copan may now be seen in the American section; while the great
bas-reliefs of Trajan’s arch at Benevento, and the important
series of marbles found in the neighborhood of Lake Nemi on
the site of a temple of Diana Arecina, form the most striking
feature of the Greco-Roman hall in the Egyptian and Mediter-
ranean section. .

The Egyptian section has secured important series of objects
illustrating the history, arts and industries of Egypt, from pre-
historic times down to the Greco-Roman period. From the
Egypt exploration fund, the American exploration society and
the Egyptian research account, the committee in charge each
year receives a fair share of the objects discovered.

162 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM

In 1898 the museum was enriched by a fine seated Ka-statue
of an Egyptian nobleman called Nenkheftek, who lived under
the fifth dynasty,and whose tomb at Deshasheh was opened that
year. With it have come the skeleton of the original and other
valuable sepulchral deposits of the old Egyptian empire. From
Behnesa an interesting collection of objects of the Roman
period was obtained. The most important part of the acquisi-
tions from this site, however, is a portion of the rich find of
Greek papyri, which will eventually come to the museum. ©

In 1899 objects of inestimable value, dating from the earliest
dynasties, were received from Hierakonpolis, among them being
a superb alabaster vase inscribed in the name of King Kha-
Sekhem, and 10 ivory carvings representing the men and women
who inhabited the Nile valley about 4500 B. C. Interesting
acquisitions from Dendera and Hu were also added.

In the years 1900-2 the work of the Egypt exploration fund
proved of more than usual importance. Having obtained per-
mission from the Egyptian government to go over the ground
just excavated by a French syndicate at Abydos, Mr Petrie’s —
finds and scientific results were of the utmost interest, the col-
lections from this earliest stratum of Egyptian history having —
proved of peculiar value. Through the liberality of the Ameri-
can exploration society, which has assumed the financial re-
sponsibility involved in cooperating with the Egypt exploration
fund on behalf of the department of archeology, a liberal share
of the objects discovered will come to Philadelphia. Among
these are a stele of King Qa, and several stone fragments and
ivory tablets inscribed in the names of other and early suc-
cessors of King Mena.

Of the founder of the United Egyptian Empire himself, an
ebony tablet inscribed in his name may be seen, as well as other
fragments and objects of his reign. Inscriptions and objects
from the tombs of kings of the 1st, 2d, and 3d dynasties and
even of pre-Menite rulers are among the new series. It is: tere:
fore fair to state that the collection, as far as regards the
Archaic period, is unique in this country.

The Mediterranean collection comprises an important series
from*Cyprus and interesting Greek, Etruscan and Roman
antiquities. |

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 163

The excavation of some Etruscan tombs at Narce, Chiusi,
Cervetri,' Vulci, Bizentium, Ascoli, Civita Castellana, Orvieto,
Corneto and Tarantum, undertaken for this section, resulted
in a splendid series containing a number of. unique specimens.
_ Among these six Etruscan sarcophagi of stone representing
- the defunct reclining on his bier, excavated at Civita-Musarna,
near Viterbo (third century B. C.) are a striking feature. These
collections are the gift of the late Dr Pepper, of Mrs Hearst
and the American exploration society and of the Hon. John
Wanamaker. The Dillwyn Parrish collection has been enriched
by a collection of demotic papyri, which will be added to its
already important series of ancient manuscripts.

An expedition sent to’Crete on behalf of the museum by the |
American exploration society, in the summer of 1901, under the
direction of Miss H. A. Boyd and Miss Wheeler resulted in the
discovery at Gournia of a Mycenaean town of about 1200 B. C.
Paved and drained, albeit narrow streets, houses, a shrine and
a palace were brought to view, and many objects of pottery,
bronze, stone, etc. were discovered. A complete series of en-
larged photographs illustrate in the museum this important
discovery. |

Two of the most valuable and interesting exhibits of the
museum are deposited in the section of glyptics to which the
western wing of the first floor of the Museum building is
devoted. One consists of an exceedingly valuable collection of

engraved gems and amulets presented to the university by Prof.
Sommerville; the other a completely equipped Buddhist temple,
also the gift of Prof. Sommerville.

The glyptic collection represents the life work of its donor,
and covers epochs of gem engraving from the earliest eras to
the present time. They are so arranged that visitors may,
_ through the medium of these beautiful engraved stones,
cylinders, seals and Gnostic tokens, inform themselves intelli-
gently on the science which these gems of all epochs so notably
exemplify.

A large number of objects from Buddhist temples, secured
by the donor in his travels through the Orient, have been

164 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM

arranged in the form of a Buddhist temple. This shrine con-
tains gods, effigies, symbolic flowers, temple furniture, and
fittings of every description secured from places of worship in
almost every eastern country. During the winter months, Prof.
Sommerville gives a series of public lectures on “ Buddhism ”
in this unique temple on Sunday afternoons at 2.30 o’clock.

The collections are open to visitors daily, holidays excepted,

from 10 a. m. to 5 p.m. On Sundays, they are open from2 p.m. | . :

to 6 p. m.

of a feeding ground, 13 feet of a dam and a representation of
a part of the pond. The materials were collected by Mr W. E.

Balch of Lunenburg, in northern Maine, and the work has been ~

done by him with the utmost fidelity to nature.

Botany. About 70,000 specimens; of these some 50,000 are ~
the Pringle herbarium which represents pretty completely, for —
the vascular plants, the known flora of North America together
with a majority of the European species and a good showing
from other parts of the world. It is specially rich in Mexican
- specimens collected by Mr Pringle. The remainder of the col-
lection consists largely of Vermont plants. It includes the her-
bariums of C. C. Frost and Joseph Torrey and an almost com-
plete representation of the more recent collections of Gront,
Eggleston and other Vermont botanists. The aim is to make
the collection as broadly and completely representative of the ~
Vermont flora as possible. |

armor, and of English swords of the 16th and 17th centuries,
halberds, guns, etc.; and a unique and superb collection of
oriental (chiefly East Indian) carvings, embroideries, weapons,

ete. which are exhibited in a room fitted up in oriental style—

the walls hung with costly embroidered fabrics and furnished
with carved teak wood. This collection is a recent legacy.
There is also a very good collection of Greek and Roman coins
and of modern medals and coins from most of the countries of
the world, several thousand specimens in all.

aimed at are to illustrate the lectures on natural history and so
to make the museum a valuable adjunct of classroom work, and
to illustrate the natural history of the state of Vermont.

DLA NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM

PUBLIC BOTANIC AND ZOOLOGIC GARDENS AND AQUARIUMS 7
IN THE UNITED STATES ‘

The desirability of this list has become evident during the
compilation of the directory of museums as the collections main-
tained are in many instances supplementary to the museums
and contain so much material of great value to investigators —
in botany and zoology. | |

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 collections of living animals and
botanic departments in the public parks where the work has not
already been undertaken by scientific societies.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

¢
asap ie een eg hE

National zoological park, Washington. Director, ex officio;
S. P. Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution; Frank
Baker, superintendent; A. B. Baker, property clerk Ww. 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. —

Paleobotany. The collection of 8000 specimens is mainly the
property of Columbia university. It was begun by the late Prof.
_J.S. Newberry and in addition to the exhibition series, contains
specimens from almost every section of the world and from every

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- 3
souri and Yellowstone rivers 1859-60; the McComb and {ves
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 Amboy
clays. An exceedingly interesting local series is shown which
was collected by Dr Arthur Hollick on Long Island, Block Isiand
and Marthas Vineyard. The fossil plants are arranged prim-
arily on the sequence of the geologic time divisions and are de-
signed to show the succession of plant life on the earth.
- Economic botany. On the first floor of the building are 24 cases
of drugs in two series, crude drugs and refined drugs. Thecrude ~
drugs are arranged morphologically, as from roots, stems, bark, —|
flowers etc. to the whole plant. Refined 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, f
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; L }

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, photographs and drawings.

Systematic botany. A general synoptic collection consisting of
72 cases occupies the second floor of the building. Typical speci-
mens of plants occupy the backs of the cases while on the
shelves are arranged photographs, drawings, flowers, fruits,
woods, fossils, etc. The present installation is as follows: one
case (the first) contains the myxomycetes or slime molds. The
seven cases following this are devoted to the algae or seaweeds.
The succeeding seven cases contain the various groups of the
fungi. Three cases are devoted to the lichens, two to the hepa-
tics, four to the mosses, three to the pteridophytes, three to the
gymnosperms, six to the monocotyledons and 36 to the dicoty-
ledons.

There is also a collection mounted on swinging frames of every
species of plant known to grow naturally within 100 miles of
New York. A unique exhibit, both suggested and presented by
William E. Dodge, consists of 24 microscopes of special design
showing a series of slides of cryptogamic plants.

The library and herbarium occupy the third floor. There are
13,000 volumes now in the library, about one half of which con-
stitute the botanic library of Columbia university.:

The herbarium contains 1,100,000 specimens, 700,000 in the
Columbia herbarium and 400,000 in the garden herbarium. The
latter collection is rapidly gaining in value and importance.

1 Garden herbarium. The specimens composing it have been
derived from collections made in all parts of the world during
the past few years (specially since the foundation of the gar-
den) in addition to miscellaneous specimens and many rare sets
of plants of earlier collections fortunately acquired through the
accessions of the following collections:

The J. B. Ellis herbarium, of fungi.

The John J. Crooke herbarium, mainly North American.

2 Columbia herbarium. The Columbia university herbarium
was begun early in the last century by Dr John Torrey, and
contains the material upon which his botanical writings, extend-
ing over half a century, were based. On this foundation the
present Columbia herbarium was built. Mr John J. Crooke en-
riched it by two valuable collections: one, that of Prof, Gs
Meisner, of Basle, Switzerland, and the other that of the late
Dr A. W. Chapman, of Apalachicola Fla. <A few years later
the mosses, and many of the hepatics and lichens accumulated
by C. F. Austin, were incorporated in it, while the most recent
acquisitions of great size and importance, are the most famous
collection of mosses brought together from all parts of the

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 219

world by the late Dr J. G. Jaeger, of Switzerland, and the
Morong herbarium. To this ample nucleus, Dr Torrey’s succes-
sor, Dr N. L. Britton, while professor at Columbia, and his
associates, added continually by securing collections from all
parts of the globe, and by special collecting trips to various
parts of America.

The conservatories consist of a range of 15 houses with about
one acre of floor space. The construction throughout is in ac-
cordance with the most modern principles and the structures
form the most elegant glasshouses in the world. Over 20,000
plants, representing 6000 species are now growing in the houses.
The collections are arranged botanically as far as temperature
conditions will permit. There is also a system of propagating
and experimental greenhouses.

The outside collections are in the Herbaceous ground, the
Fruticetum.and the Arboretum. About 2700 species of herbace-
ous plants and over 300 trees represent almost all orders of
plants containing hardy species.

The wild flora has been carefully conserved and includes over
600 flowering plants and about 2000 cryptogams.

The museum is a new specially designed building of Italian
renaissance style, of Indiana limestone and terra cotta. It is
specially equipped with all modern appliances for the comfort
of those using it and is open to the public daily from 9 a. m. to
5 p.m. The library and herbarium are open to students. There
are no regular courses of instruction but properly prepared .
students are given such guidance and assistance as they may
need to prosecute investigations. Two courses of public lec-
tures are provided during the year.
