II. Blocks for the display of fossil specimens, in table 

 cases. A special type of block had to be devised to suit the 

 conditions of the table cases of the fossil plant museum. On 

 account of the thinness of the blocks which it was necessary 

 to adopt, they had to be ebonized by a different method from 

 that used for the style of our general exhibition block and to 

 secure a better display of the specimens, the top of each 

 block has been given a pearl-gray tint. To equip the cases 

 blocks of this type were secured as follows :
