 prong-horned antelope, harnessed antelope, a peccary, a large dusky 

 shark {Carcharinus obscurus), a fine dugong, ten feet in length, and 

 three heads of large mammals.

 remounted, and hung in the mammal hall.

 the Society of American Taxidermists were unpacked and installed at 

 the New Orleans Exposition in the month of January, and in June were 

 repacked for return shipment, all of which greatly lessened the number 

 of specimens which would have been mounted during the half year.
