MUSEUM NOTES II 
The second expedition, in Montana, obtained considerable 
material from the Judith River beds, including the greater part 
of a Trachodon skeleton. From the Fort Benton formation on 
the Crow Indian Reservation, several new forms of crocodiles 
were obtained. 
The third expedition, in New Mexico, explored a hitherto 
unnoted deposit of Laramie Cretaceous, finding a large Diclonius 
skull and jaws. The most notable find, however, was made in 
the fourth expedition in the Pleistocene Crevasse of Northern 
Arkansas from which were secured several thousand skulls, jaws 
and limb bones representing about fifty species, many of which 
are living, while not a few are extinct forms. The collection is 
now being worked up and will prove of great interest in showing 
the range and distribution of many forms. 
MUSEUM NOTES. 
Sd 
a9 HERE is an increasing demand from teachers for 
a | the circulating collections which the Museum 
H| loans to public schools. More than a hundred of 
the schools of the city are using them at the 
present time. They have been studied by more 
than 30,000 children since the schools opened in September. 
The sets of birds and insects are most popular. This plan of 
supplying small nature study collections to the elementary 
schools has attracted considerable attention outside the city. 
Professor A. C. Haddon of the Horniman Museum, London, who, 
during a recent visit to the Museum, showed great interest in our 
work and made a careful study of our methods of supplying this 
material, has written for circulars, labels and other literature re- 
lating to this work, in order that he may present the project to 
the London County Council and persuade it to provide similar 
collections for the public schools of London. 
Tue International Congress of Arts and Sciences, at the 
Louisiana Purchase Exposition in September, 1904, brought to this 
country an unusual number of eminent scientific men, many of 
whom stopped at the Museum on their way to or from St. Louis.
