THEr AQUARIUM. 
The Aquarium continues, as heretofore, to be one of the chief 
attractions of the Museum. 
The new system of aeration introduced into the salt-water tanks 
continues to prove satisfactory, and a very large number of 
additional marine species have been on view, as seen from the 
subjoined list. Species which previously it has been only possible to 
keep alive for a few days have been kept alive for months, and there 
is evidence that some of the species have reproduced in the tanks. 
The fresh-water tanks have been kept well stocked with 
specimens.
