8 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 



expositions, and it shows the growth and advancement of the 

 educational system of New Jersey for the last thirty years. 



The specimens now owned by the Museum need double the 

 space we now have, and w r e are continually adding to the number. 



The historical department can be made one of the best if 

 room could be had for it. Valuable specimens of this kind are 

 being lost for the want of room to place them. There are many 

 valuable specimens in the State that we could procure at no cost 

 if w T e could have a place to display them. They are continually 

 being collected by other States, and thus can never be procured 

 for the Museum.
