NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS 7T 



of natural and artificial grafts and the results of interesting 

 physiologic experiments conducted by Pres. Clark, a collection 

 of economic seeds, considerable miscellaneous material and some 

 material of horticultural value such as models of fruits, etc. 



The herbarium includes about 15,000 species of flowering 

 plants and about 10,000 species of cryptogams, the latter repre- 

 sented by mosses, lichens and fungi. 



The only specimens for exchange are the few duplicates of 

 English mosses collected by Baker. 



Ethnology and anthropology. Small collection of about 200 

 specimens of Ainu relics from Sapporo, Island of Yezo, Japan; 

 50 specimens: Egyptian material, Mexican pottery, and relics 

 of the American Indians; an interesting collection of books, 

 pamphlets, and manuscripts, and various relics, connected with 

 the domestic life and industries of the early settlers of the 

 town. 



This museum is connected with the public library, both of 

 which were established and built by popular subscription for the 

 purpose of preserving historic matter and relics of olden times. 

 It is therefore almost exclusively of local interest, with little, if 

 anything, for general exchange.
