of rendering polluted streams innocuous 

 to fish life. 



Class 738. History of fish culture; 

 statistics of the results of fish culture; 

 literature. 



Discussion of the Classification.— 

 The classificationis very much condensed 

 but it will be found to provide a place 

 for everything that has been assembled 

 at previous expositions. The items 

 comprising the catalogue of the World's 

 Columbian Exposition at Chicago, and 

 the Exposition Universelle at Paris, for 

 example, can all be readily assigned to 

 their proper places in the various class- 

 es of the present Classification. 



Qroup 120 —Bunting Equipment. 

 In this group will be included series of 

 weapons showing the development of 

 the modern breech-loading gun, exhibit- 

 ions of skill in shooting, hunters' camps, 

 models of establishments for training 

 dogs, and traps and other appliances 

 for the capture of animals. 



Qroup 120.— Products of Hunting .The 

 illustrations of animals will include 

 photographs taken by day -light, or at 

 night by flash light; also books upon 

 natural history and out of door life. 

 This group will also provide for all the 

 natural products obtained from ani- 

 mals. 



Group 122— Fishing Equipment and 

 Products, will embrace not only existing 

 forms of animal life, but also represen- 

 tations of the relations between extinct 

 forms and those now living. The ani- 

 mal forms will include reptiles such as 

 tortoise, turtles, lizards and serpents, 

 as well as amphibians like frogs' newts 

 and their allies. The internal and ex- 

 ternal parasites of animals will also be 

 shown. It is intended, besides, to illus- 

 trate plant and animal life at great 

 depths and to show the geographicaf 

 distribution and migrations of animals. 

 Ancient fishing implements or their 

 reproductions will have a place in this 

 group. The literature will include fish- 

 ery laws of different countries, copies 



of treaties and charters and convention 

 dealing with international fishery relat- 

 ions. Special fisheries, marine and 

 fresh water, will be fully exhibited, as 

 also fishing stations and their outfits.

 be associated with models and represen- 

 tations of appliances for drying, curing 

 salting, smoking, canning and cooking. 

 The fish foods will appear in this group 

 only when accompanied by such models 

 and representations. The methods and 

 appliances for preparing oils and ma- 

 nures from fish will also be shown in 

 this place. Here will be arranged the 

 oysters, clams and other mollusks, the 

 star-fishes, sea-urchins and holothurians 

 and illustrations of the preparation and 

 applications of all parts and products 

 of aquatic animals to useful and orna- 

 mental purposes. Models of fish mark-

 group.
