PART OF THE LOWER HALL. 
Within the hall of the museum down-stairs, Japanese speciinens are systematically exhibited according to 
the latest classification. Owing to limited space, over 1,000 species of native land shells and nearly 7,000 foreign 
are interchangeably replaced and exhibited from time to time. On the walls around are hung illustrations of 
living shells, designs, and maps of the distribution of shells ; on shelves are shown various articles made of shells 
or in the shape of shells; in the cases in the middle of the hall are exhibited specimens preserved in alcohol or 
formalin, transparent specimens, swarms, parasites, symbiosis, specimens illustrating protective coloration, mimicry, 
variation, useful and noxious species, boring shells, monsters, specimens showing stages of development, and many 
other exhibits valuable for reference.
