Report o af Journey Around the World. 37 



of two galleried halls at different levels, with a broad corridor 

 extending along the eastern side. Each hall is 100 feet long by 

 47 feet wide, while the balconies are only 6 feet wide, except at 

 the northern end in each hall, where the width is much greater. 

 The whole building is 258 feet long by 61 feet wide, and there is 

 a clock tower about 100 feet high. As seen in Fig. 37, the lecture 

 room and library is on the left side of the museum building, of 

 which it forms part. The contents of this building, or rather their 

 admirable arrangement, constitute the individuality of the institu- 

 tion : they are grouped on the evolutionary or development system, 

 both for animals (in the North Hall, Fig. 35) and for the works 

 of man ( in the South Hall, Fig. 36) . To aid the visitor are, beside 

 the arrangement, a series of handbooks costing from one to three 

 pence as follows : 



1 . Guide for the use of Visitors to the Horniman Museum 

 and Library. 2% pence. 



2. Handbook to the Collection arranged as an introduction
