56 Thirty-Third Annual Meeting 
displays of living animals; with the exception of Missouri these 
exhibits are confined to fishes and other aquatic forms. Missouri 
has a tract of more than two acres west of the Forestry building 
on which is located an artificial lake, 200 feet long and 50 feet 
wide, around which are installed enclosures for deer, black bear, 
beaver, wild cat, puma, coyote, grey wolf, red fox and grey fox. 
In connection with this outdoor space a small hunting lodge has 
been established in which are to be found a library of literature 
relating to hunting and fishing, game trophies, hunting and fish- 
ing implements, and other reminders of outdoor sports. 
Canada has six live beaver in a pool. ‘These animals have 
made themselves entirely at home from the first and have been 
an unfailing source of attraction to visitors. Oregon has brought 
some hying Mongolian pheasants of the species successfully in- 
troduced into that state some years ago. Colorado has a three 
months old black bear cub which at present is kept outdoors in 
the reservation for Missouri. New Jersey occupies the great 
swampy pool in the center of the building for large game and 
food fishes of the Atlantic coast. The complete stocking of the 
aquaria has been deferred on account of the delay in supplying 
cold water for trout, salmon, pikeperch, small mouth bass and 
other species which will not live in water of the ordinary sum- 
mer temperature of this region. Washington has hatched eggs 
of the steel-head trout and now has a supply of these eggs in 
storage awaiting the introduction of the cold water system. 
The wild game of the world is well represented also by taxi- 
dermy, skins, furs, animal products and illustrations. <A single 
exhibit of furs, mounted and unmounted rugs, skins, game 
trophies, animal traps, etc., occupies a space 80 feet long and 20 
feet deep. In the exhibit.of New Zealand is a fine collection of 
the heads of red deer and fallow deer, besides the mounted skins 
of the brown trout of Europe and the rainbow trout of Califor- 
nia, all of which animals have been successfully introduced in 
New Zealand within the last thirty years. Among the finest 
of the illustrations are the flashhght pictures of wild deer taken 
at night in the wilds of Michigan by Hon. George Shiras, 3rd., 
of Pittsburg, the animal paintings of Alexander Pope of Boston, 
the taxidermy of H. L. Rand of Worcester, the butterfly mounts 
of C. B. Riker of New York, the splendid series of Indian im-
