There are two empty horizontal cases, standing between 

 the pillars that belong to the College. 



Of the five upright cases standing along the easterly side 

 of the room, filled with prepared specimens of birds, ani-

 fitted up by Prof. J. P. Kirtland, for the use of the College, 

 the same as the shells above mentioned. 



The upright cases at the southeast corner of the room, 

 containing prepared animals and other articles, are the 

 deposit of various individuals whose names are not known, 

 on conditions which are not known.

 uj)right cases, were presented in part by Lieut. Phelps, of 

 the United States Navy, and other individuals not known,

 his other specimens, but it is now difiicult to separate those

 hung up around the room, a part of which are labelled as 

 the gift of Mrs. George Hoadley, collected in China by her
