86 REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND FISHERIES. 



of specimens which ilhistrate them are, at the present time, there- 

 fore, entirely unique. 



It may also be mentioned that the method of mounting the star- 

 fish, lobsters, etc., in a transparent solid medium, was also worked 

 out by a member of the commission for this purpose. 



Many of the specimens above enumerated were exhibited at the 

 Pan-American ^Exhibition, but a large number of new specimens 

 have been added which represent the work done during the last 

 two years. To meet the different requirements of the prospective 

 exhibition, all of the older specimens have been remounted. The 

 relief model of the bay has been completed by the addition of the 

 land above the 100 foot contour line. 



All of the specimens prepared for the exhibit will remain the 

 property of your commission, and will be exhibited, as far as possible, 

 in the office of your commission at the Capitol.
