Mr. Edward A. Hyer, a member of the Natural History Society 

 since 1909, is spending a vacation in Charleston. Mr. Hyer is 

 studying taxidermy in the studio of Mr. Carl E. Akeley at the 

 American Museum of Natural History, and will devote a part 

 of his time while in Charleston to renovating some of the larger 

 mammals in the Museum and to building a base for the polar 

 bear group. 



The Museum is beginning to circulate among the schools an 

 extensive series of traveling exhibits illustrating materials of 

 commerce and industry. Some account of the rapid growth of 

 the department of public instruction will be given in a later num- 

 ber of the Bulletin.
