Xxvi Trans. Acad. Sci. of St. Louis. 
MUSEUM. 
After the loss of its first museum, in 1869, the Academy 
lacked adequate room for the arrangement of a public 
museum, and, although small museum accessions were received 
and cared for, its main effort of necessity was concentrated 
on the holding of meetings, the formation of a library, the 
publication of worthy scientific matter, and the maintenance 
of relations with other scientific bodies. 
But now in possession of a suitable home, full attention 
can again be devoted to the museum, and the same is grad- 
ually growing.
