spirit of civic pride and a desire to promote science and art to a degree not 

 surpassed by the citizens of any of the larger municipalities of the world. 



From Russia the Director of the Museum repaired to Stockholm, where 

 he spent a few days visiting the principal public institutions and making 

 arrangements for an exchange of the publications of the Carnegie Museum 

 for those of the Royal Academy of Sciences and other Swedish institutions. 

 He recalls with pleasure the delightful hours passed in the society of 

 Professor Aurivillius, Dr. Sjostedt, and Mr. C. V. Hartman. An excur- 

 sion was made to Upsala, where the grave of Linnaeus was visited, and the 

 authorities of the University with the most amiable kindness caused the 

 collections of Linnaeus, which had been sealed up and retired for the sum-

 examine many of the types of the insects named and described by the

 Several hours were spent with him examining his superb collection of

 zoological garden which he has established. The life-size reproduction of 

 the Diplodocus, of Triceratops, and other dinosaurs are certainly very

 Hatcher and the Director of the Carnegie Museum. 



While in Hamburg arrangements were made with a well-known dealer 

 in that city to purchase the skins of a number of species of penguins,
