THE OOLOGIST. 



be shown which are not taken within 

 the state boundries. These instances 

 are certainly unpleasant to the feel-' 

 ings of all naturalists who understand 

 the distribution of our birds and mam- 

 mals, and certainly do not reflect credit 

 on the persons in charge. 



Many of the foreign exhibits are of 

 interest, but it is readily seen, that with 

 few exceptious, tne work of foreign 

 taxidermists does not equal that of our 

 home workmen. 



There is danger that visitors will miss 

 some important exhibit. In fact one 

 might prolong his stay for months and 

 then after leaving discover that some 

 interesting exhibit had been overlook- 

 ed. This condition is unavoidable, and 

 to prevent any readers from omitting 

 one building, which to me, is all im- 

 portant, attention is. called to an often 

 neglected quarter of tne grounds. In 

 the south-eastern part of the grounds 

 and in a section of the park too fre- 

 quently neglected, is the Anthropologi- 

 cal building. It is next to the Forest- 

 ing department, and if one will turn to 

 his map of the Fair, he will see that this 

 building is by no means a small one. 

 A visit will convince an observer that it 

 is one of the most interesting: spots on 

 the ground. 



Ward's exhibit of fossils, mammals, 

 birds and reptiles from Rochester is 

 found here. In it maybe seen the cele- 

 brated Hairy Elephant in the restored 

 form, with tusks ten to fifteen feet long. 

 A Mastodan's skeleton is articulated 

 and rises massively above all creatures 

 of the present day. 



Next to this display is Lattin & Co's. 

 exhibit of eggs, birds, shells, etc. One 

 is liable to meet some of the collectors 

 there, While the pleasure of iooking 

 over the well-arranged, properly label- 

 ed series of eggs is sure to pay a visitor 

 for the time spent. Visitors to Chicago 

 are also invited to call at the store, No.

I have already occupied my allow- 

 ance of space and must subside for the

Notice- 



All persons wishing to exhibit speci- 

 mens or mounted work relating to Nat- 

 ural History, at the uext annual meet- 

 ing of the Western New York Natural- 

 ists Association should communicate 

 with some one of the exhibition com- 

 mittee as given below and oblige.
