834 SEC. 18. BIOLOGY. 



The preparations which have been sent are intended as specimens for 

 zoological instruction in the higher class educational establishments. They 

 can be continually renewed by any teacher, and are not liable to destruction, 

 and will raise the standard of the objects concerned in teaching. They 

 attracted the notice of the judges in the Vienna Exhibition, and gained a 

 medal as a mark of merit. 



These and the following preparations were constructed for the exhibitor by 

 Rudolph Roch, of Munich, manufacturer of anatomical preparations. 



3878a. Two Preparations. Heads of children. 



Ph. Owsiannikov, University of St. Petersburg. 



These preparations are taken from the Anatomic Museum of the Academy 

 of Science at St. Petersburg ; they were bought by the Emperor Peter the 

 Great, in the year 1717, from the eminent anatomist of Holland, Ruy^ch 

 (1638-1731), with his whole excellent collection. 



The lessons of anatomy, the nervous system especially, must be demon- 

 strated by preparations. Most of these preparations in spirit cannot be long 

 preserved. The preparations of Ruysch, though very old, are extremely well 

 preserved. The collection of preparations of Ruysch at the Museum of 

 Anatomy of the Academy of Science at Petersburg is unique in Europe.
