Framed labels have been prepared, giving full description and placed 

 on or against each model. Maps of the region are at the entrance, 

 hinged to the first case, so they can be placed in position for study 

 when needed, and when not, can be let down out of the way. 



The original objects belonging to these models have been and will be 

 placed in the cases around the walls, so that the entire archasological 

 discoveries from each locality can be seen at a glance, and compared 

 with themselves and with each other, according to the desire of the 

 visitor.

 necessity for this change was increased by the order given by the 

 Director on my recommendation removing the 14 temporary tables with

 position. They are now being replaced by cases inclosed, containing 

 drawers for the storage of material, the first we have had for such a 

 purpose. This is a great improvement. I have endeavored to group 

 the objects from diiferent countries together, and to so employ the taller 

 upright cases as to divide these countries as by screens, which will be 

 apparent to the eye and so form the semblance of a room or chamber 

 adapted to each country. 



The room at the extreme east of the hall is devoted to European pre- 

 historic objects. In the line of wall cases along the north side of the 

 hall are displayed the objects from Mexico, Central and South America. 

 In the foyer in the center of the hall, used as an entrance, are dis-
