The MAMMALIA are exhibited in three Galleries : 



1. The Mammalian Gallery (on the first floor), in which is 

 placed the series of stuffed specimens, with the exception of the 

 Sirenia and Cetacea. Skeletons of the most important types are 

 incorporated with this series. Also the collection of Antlers of the 

 family of Deer are ranged along the tops of the cases. 



2. The Osteological Gallery (on the second floor), which con- 

 tains the complete series of skeletons and skulls. The stuffed 

 Sirenia and the collection of Horns of the Oxen, Antelopes, and 

 Sheep are also placed in this Gallery. 



3. The Cetacean Gallery (in the basement), which contains 

 stuffed specimens and skeletons of the Whales and Dolphins. 



MAMMALIAN GALLERY. 



In this Gallery^ which is devoted to the exhibition of the stuffed 

 specimens, the contents are arranged in a continuous series in the 

 Pier-cases, the order commencing on the left hand as the visitor p.L e . e 

 enters. Large specimens are placed in the Recesses between the 

 Cases or in the Saloon at the western end of the Gallery. Some 

 large Cases in the centre of the Gallery contain the Seals and Sea- 

 Lions, and certain of the larger Ungulates, and the collection of 

 Antlers of Cervidcs or Deer is distributed throughout the Gallery, on 

 the top of the Cases or on the Piers. The great size of some of the 

 Cetaceans (Whales and Dolphins) has prevented them from being 

 placed with the other members of their Class ; and a separate 

 Gallery in the basement has been prepared for their reception.
