AT ENTRANCE TO HALL OF NORTH AMERICAN MAMMALS 

 The moose was mounted in 1902 by 'Mr. Ernest Smith. The new case in which it is at 

 present exhibited is the largest metal case with sides of a single piece of glass ever constructed. 

 The case measures about 10 by 6 feet with a height of 10 feet. The bindings are made of 

 extruded metal, not rolled like steel nor forged like iron but extruded by hydrauUc pres- 

 sure through a die wliich forms the bottom of a crucible. The sections are held together by 

 clasps and the whole can be taken apart^and reassembled in very short time. The case is 

 absolutely dustproof
