Tue Systematic Museum. Specimens were added to 
all divisions of this museum and selected ones were inter- 
polated in the public exhibits. The setting aside of the 
west wing for herbarium and office purposes necessitated 
the removal of the exhibits from that hall into the west

the west hall has its full complement of exhibition cases. 
THe Microscope Exuisit. The several stands of 
microscopes were removed from the west wing to the 
mezzanine landing between the first and second floors of 
the museum building. Fortunately the exhibit lent itself 
very well to the arrangement. The exhibits were read-

Tue Locat Frora. Specimens and figures representing 
several groups of the lower fungi were incorporated in their 
proper sequence in this exhibit. The cases formerly in the
