"In the Anthropological Building, a collection of birds and 

 mammals collected and mounted by Dr. B. H. Warren, State 

 Ornithologist, West Chester, and of birds' eggs collected and 

 arranged by J. Warren Jacobs, Waynesburg, Pa. Probably no 

 similar exhibit on the grounds elicits so much attention and com- 

 mendation as this. It is located centrally in the eastern gallery 

 of the Anthropological Building. The scientific character and 

 educational value of this collection is greatly enhanced by the 

 attractive and realistic manner in which it is mounted."
