DEPARTMENT OP PREHISTORIC ANTHROPOLOGY. 133 



cases. So, also, is it largely true of the prehistoric museuuis of Stock- 

 holm, of Christiauia, Ediuburgh, Dublin, Lyons, Toulouse, Nantes, 

 Quimper, Vanues, Renues, of the principal towns of Switzerland, of 

 Berlin, of Rome, and of many towns in Italy. 



In all these and many other places which might be easily named, the 

 collection of prehistoric anthropology forms an entire museum of itself, 

 with a full corps of officers and employes. Yet the necessities, as well 

 as the opportunities, for a prehistoric museum are greater in the United 

 States than in any of the countries I ha^e mentioned. Our territory is 

 wider, the field of research is newer, and the prehistoric age of our 

 country is brought so near to us that our opportunities are, as I have 

 said, superior. 



There has been transferred to this department twenty-six plaster or 

 papier-mache models of ancient Zuni and Moqui cities, villages, and 

 monuments, from Arizona and New Mexico.* 



Some of these have been placed upon the floor in the center of the 

 hall, where they occupy 1,750 square feet of space, nearly one-fifth of 

 the available floor space in the hall. Others, upright models of clifl:" 

 dwellings, caverns, etc., are placed upon the tops of the high wall 

 cases, so far distant and so high as to be out of the range of vision, 

 which detracts greatly from, if it does not destroy, their interest on the 

 part of the public. 



* They were made origiually by the U. S. Geological Survey and by the Bureau 

 of Ethuology. A list of them is here given :
