Tats Museum, which already contains over 25,000 specimens, is 
intended to occupy a similar position and fulfil the same purpose 
in this Colony, which the South Kensington Museum, the Bethnal 
Green Museum, the Museum of Practical Geology, the Patent 
Office Museum, and the Parkes Museum of Hygiene do in 
London. 
A complete synopsis of the Museum would be too voluminous; 
the following notes will, however, probably give some idea of the 
scope of it. 
1. AniMAL Propucts (exclusive of foods) and specimens to show 
the methods followed in their preparation and manufacture. 
Propucts of (2) Mammatia.—Wool, hair and bristles, horn, 
hides, skins and leather, furs, bones and ivory, oils, fats and 
perfumes. (0) Brros.—Feathers, down, birdskins, eggs, oil 
and fat. (c) FisHErtes.—Sponge, coral, pearls, shells, fish- 
oil, furs, whale-bone; fish culture and apparatus. (d) 
Reptit1a.—Tortoise shell. 
1a. Economic Entomotocy.—The specimens are arranged so 
as to enable the public to discriminate between insects 
which are injurious to man and those who work for his 
benefit; and show their life history and specimens of the 
materials which they have destroyed or injured. Insect 
ornaments. Insects used in medicine and dyeing. Silk-worm, 
honey bee, &c.
