122 MEMORIAL TRIBUTE 



3rd. Pathology. — The pathological series answers 

 very well for the galleries of our Museum. It was the 

 opinion of one of the members that it ought to have 

 been placed below ; but he has lived long enough to 

 confess his error. There is the same defect, of dissimilar 

 cases, productive of disorder, which cannot be avoided. 



Preparations and casts should be equally included in 

 the series ; but, as many of the latter are too large for 

 the cases, they may be kept apart in a room devoted for 

 that purpose. 



The calculi must be placed in glazed tables, and the 

 floor ought to be considered as general receptacle for 

 exordinals belonging to any of all the three series. 



The catalogue must be regularly made out, accord- 

 ing to the organs or diseases, and not according to the 

 cases, shelving, or tables, though the latter must always 

 be referred to at every article. 



The system of ticketing must be as follows : — 

 The exposed tickets uniform as to size and writing, 

 numbered to correspond with the numbers of the articles, 

 varnished, of a neat oblong form, suspended over the 

 preparation. 



The tickets within the glazed cases to be of the same 

 size, suspended if possible ; if not, to be supported by a 

 small piece of wood with a groove, painted white. 



Every museum ought to have a library containing 

 such books as are necessary for reference or illustration. 

 It ought to be ivell and neatly arranged, kept re- 

 markably clean, and free of all smells, as of varnish, 

 turpentine, camphor, and especially putrefaction.
