The Curator’s Keport. 
The success of our last two Reports, “The Fishes of New Jer- 
sey” and “The Amphibians and Reptiles of New Jersey,” both 
prepared by the same gentleman, Mr. Henry W. Fowler, has 
caused the Curator of the State Museum to take for this Report 
“The Mammals of New Jersey,” which subject-matter has been

is shown by the hearty support given us by the State officers, the 
Legislature and others interested in the cause of education. We 
expect to continue our efforts on the same lines.
