10 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
The Geological Exhibits have been newly numbered, listed 
and a card system made for them. We have one new set of cab- 
inets for the display and storage of the geological specimens, 
and have ordered two more. When these are in place the old 
cases will be removed. This will give us some additional space 
to use many specimens we have not heretofore been able to dis- 
play. These are stored in the basement of the State House or 
loaned to other institutions. 
The other Exhibits—Birds, Fish, Insects, Quadrupeds, ete.— 
are all in place and are being listed and labeled. 
We are preparing a card system of all of the specimens in 
the Museum. When this is done we shall be able to locate and 
have described every specimen in the Museum with very little 
trouble. 
MORE ROOM. 
Again we have to urge more and better rooms for displaying 
the specimens now in the possession of the Commission and for 
those we are continually receiving. 
The Commission, at one of its recent meetings, recommended 
that the State House Commission be asked to urge the con- 
struction of a new building or more rooms for the State Museum. 
Messrs. Kiimmel and Morse were appointed a committee to make 
plans for a new building and submit them to the State House 
Commission for their inspection and approval. The future suc- 
cess of the Museum depends upon having more room to ac- 
commodate its rapid growth. 
The State House Commission have done much to assist the 
Commission to improve the Museum. The Legislature gave the 
Commission the appropriation asked, thus enabling it to go on 
with the work as proposed. 
The assigning of a man to have full charge of the rooms 
and see that everything is kept clean has proved a success, thus 
showing their wisdom.
