Series III. — Educational Series. 



Prepared by Richard Rathbun. 



The United States National Museum, having received frequent appli- 

 cations for collections representing the principal groups of marine in- 

 vertebrate animals occurring uj^on our coast, and suitable for class 

 demonstration, in connection with zoological lectures, has prepared fifty 

 collections of this character, for distribution the present winter. The 

 specimens necessary for this undertaking have been selected from among 

 the duplicates accumulated by the United States Fish Commission, in 

 their explorations of the Kew England coast, and, therefore, represent 

 on\j those groups which occur more or less abundantly in the waters 

 of that region. At the present time, it is impossible to enlarge these 

 sets, as many of the representative species, which it would be desirable 

 to include in them, are of too rare occurrence, and have been collected 

 only in small numbers. 



The specimens are all preserved in alcohol, unless otherwise indicated 

 in the list, and each set contains all the species enumerated.
