STUDIFS ON MUSEUMS AND KINDRED INSTITUTIONS. 425 



skins, plants, etc., 80 inches long, 20 inches high, and IS inches deep, 

 nia(h^ by the American Can Company, Bowlino- (ireen Building, New 

 York and C'hicago, and costing $10. These are also made in various 

 other dimensions. They often stand piled in the workrooms to the 

 ver}' ceiling. 



In conclusion I will hastily sketch the museum collection, though 

 from its great profusion I can give the reader ])ut a feeble idea of its 

 exhibits. I must limit myself to enumerating a few principal objects. 



Antliropnhxi'ival depart t a ent.^'^\\K\ archeology and ethnology of 

 North America stand in the foreground. Among the most interesting, 

 archeologically, is the collection of the Hopewell Mound group in 

 Ohio, with a large series 

 of copper, stone, and bone 

 ornaments and imple- 

 ments, among which is a 

 deposit of 8,000 stone 

 implements. Well repre- 

 sented in a prehistoric 

 wa}^ are Illinois, Arkan- 

 sas, Wisconsin, Michigan, 

 New Jersey, Tennessee, 

 California, New Mexico, 

 and Arizona. There is 

 also a large collection of 

 casts from the sculptures 

 of Yucatan. 



In the ethnological field 

 there are very complete 

 representations of the 

 Kwakiutl and Bellacoola 

 of the northwest coast, 

 the Kulanapan of California, the Hopi of the Southwest, the Sioux and 

 Algonkins of the Plains. 1 further mention houses, totem poles, and 

 the other ethnographical eiiuipment of the Haidas of Alaska, Eskimo 

 materials from North Greenland, Alaska, and Eastern Sil)eria, group 

 exhibits of the villages, houses, and industrial occupations of the Zuni, 

 Hopi," etc., with life-size figures. One of the seven Hopi villages, 

 Oraibi, in Arizona, is— so to speak — here reproduced complete, so as 

 fully to show the interior and household life of the Indian of to-day. 

 To this is added a collection of over 4,000 pieces of prehistoric pot- 

 tery from the ncar-))y Hopi ruins. Further, there are exact imita- 

 tions of nine altars and sand mosaics as they are used in ceremonials 

 of the Hopi, whose religious life is especially well represented.
