  Thirtieth 
  Report 
  oisr 
  the 
  State 
  Museum. 
  

  

  east 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  room, 
  by 
  glass, 
  to 
  correspond 
  with 
  the 
  adjacent 
  

   cases, 
  has 
  also 
  been 
  authorized 
  by 
  the 
  commissioners 
  of 
  the 
  

   land 
  office 
  ; 
  and 
  thus 
  adequate 
  room 
  has 
  been 
  furnished 
  for 
  

   the 
  present 
  wants 
  of 
  the 
  Zoological 
  collection. 
  

  

  This 
  change 
  will 
  however 
  preclude 
  the 
  full 
  arrangement 
  of 
  

   the 
  ethnological 
  and 
  historical 
  collections, 
  as 
  the 
  cases 
  which 
  

   have 
  been 
  or 
  can 
  be 
  vacated 
  will 
  not 
  accommodate 
  the 
  entire 
  

   collection. 
  A 
  re-arrangement 
  of 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  however, 
  as 
  

   hereafter 
  stated, 
  will, 
  in 
  some 
  degree 
  obviate 
  the 
  want 
  of 
  space 
  

   on 
  the 
  third 
  floor. 
  

  

  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  occupancy 
  of 
  the 
  Agricultural 
  Hall, 
  by 
  the 
  

   Census 
  Department, 
  since 
  the 
  early 
  part 
  of 
  1876, 
  no 
  work 
  of 
  

   actual 
  distribution 
  of 
  duplicate 
  material 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  since 
  

   January 
  last, 
  but 
  the 
  catalogues 
  were 
  completed 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  

   material 
  had 
  been 
  arranged. 
  The 
  collections 
  of 
  fossils 
  have 
  

   been 
  arranged 
  preparatory 
  to 
  such 
  distribution 
  whenever 
  time 
  

   and 
  opportunity 
  shall 
  be 
  afforded. 
  

  

  A 
  statement 
  in 
  detail 
  of

  General 
  and 
  Special 
  Woek 
  oe

  been 
  completed, 
  and 
  the 
  objects 
  named 
  

   in 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  additions 
  have 
  been 
  properly 
  named 
  and 
  noted. 
  

   A 
  contribution 
  to 
  the 
  Insect 
  fauna 
  of 
  thirty-seven 
  species 
  is 
  

   almost 
  the 
  only 
  donation 
  of 
  the 
  kind 
  to 
  the 
  Museum 
  collections.
