DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY. 
In charge of Prof. J. A. Allen. 
Modern Taxidermy. Illustrated by Specimens from the American 
Museum of Natural History. 
It is only within the last few years that taxidermy, at least in 
America, could rightly claim rank as an art. Its recent great 
improvement in methods and results is largely due to the estab- 
lishment of departments of taxidermy in our leading museums, 
enabling the artist-taxidermist to give full scope to his abilities. 
The specimens shown illustrate the former and present grades of 
work. 
103. The CHIMPANZEE “CHICO” (Anthropopithecus troglodytes), 
mounted by Mr. J. Rowley, Jr., January, 1895, at the American 
Museum of Natural History. This example beautifully illus- 
trates the possibilities of the newer taxidermy. 
104. Another CHIMPANZEE, showing the better grade of com- 
mercial work of ten years ago. To be compared with the 
preceding. 
105. TURKEY (Meleagris gallopavo), showing the modelling of 
the head and wattles by recent methods. 
106. Another TURKEY, illustrating average museum work of ten 
years ago.
