THE OOLOGIST. 



be shown which are not taken within 

 the state boundries. These instances 

 are certainly unpleasant to the feel- 

 ings of all naturalists who understand 

 the distribution of our birds and mam- 

 mals, and certainly do not retiect credit 

 on the persons in charge. 



Many of the foreign exhibits are of 

 interest, but it is I'eadily seen, that with 

 few exceptions, the work of foreign 

 taxidermists does not equal that of our 

 home workmen. 



There is danger that visitors will miss 

 some important exhibit. In fact one 

 might prolong his stay for months and 

 then after leaving discover that some 

 interesting exhibit had been o\erlook- 

 ed. This condition is unavoidal)le, and 

 to prevent any readers from omitting 

 one building, which to me, is all im- 

 portant, attention is called to an often 

 neglected quarter of tne grounds. In 

 the south-eastern part of the grounds 

 and in a section of the park too fre- 

 quently neglected, is the Anthropologi- 

 cal building. It is next to the Forest- 

 ing department, and if one will turn to 

 his map of the Fair, he will see that this 

 building is by no means a small one. 

 A visit will convince an observer that it 

 is one of the most interestiucr spots on 

 the ground. 



Ward's exhibit of fossils, mammals, 

 birds and reptiles from Rochester is 

 found here. In it maybe seen the cele- 

 brated Hairy Elephant in the restored 

 foi'm, with tusks ten to fifteen feet long. 

 A Mastodan's skeleton is articulated 

 and rises massively above all creatures 

 of the present day. 



Next to this display is Lattin & Go's. 

 ■exhil)it of eggs, birds; shells, etc. One 

 is liable to meet some of the collectors 

 there, Avhile the pleasure of looking 

 over the well-arranged, properly label- 

 ed series of eggs is sure to pay a visitor 

 for the time spent. Visitors to Chicago 

 are also invited to call at the store, No. 

 3571 Cottage (irove Ave. 



I have already occupied my allow-
