  CONDITION 
  OF 
  THE 
  SCIENTIFIC 
  COLLECTIONS 
  CON- 
  

   STITUTING 
  THE 
  STATE 
  MUSEUM 
  

  

  The 
  collections 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  Museum, 
  both 
  those 
  exposed 
  for 
  

   exhibition 
  and 
  the 
  much 
  larger 
  quantity, 
  under 
  stress 
  of 
  circum- 
  

   stances 
  now 
  in 
  storage, 
  remain 
  in 
  essentially 
  the 
  same 
  condition 
  as 
  

   reported 
  last 
  year. 
  With 
  the 
  present 
  straightened 
  quarters 
  addi- 
  

   tional 
  display 
  of 
  material, 
  however 
  interesting 
  and 
  instructive, 
  is 
  

   effectively 
  debarred 
  and 
  as 
  a 
  consequence 
  none 
  of 
  the 
  recent 
  acquisi- 
  

   tions 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  past 
  year 
  has 
  been 
  fruitful 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  acces- 
  

   sible 
  to 
  the 
  public. 
  The 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  scientific 
  staff 
  are 
  indus- 
  

   trious 
  in 
  the 
  acquirement 
  of 
  materials. 
  These 
  materials 
  are 
  in 
  very 
  

   large 
  degree 
  the 
  basis 
  of 
  investigations 
  and 
  must 
  be 
  temporarily 
  

   accessible 
  for 
  study. 
  Eventually, 
  however, 
  (and 
  that 
  is, 
  generally, 
  

   as 
  soon 
  as 
  possible) 
  these 
  scientific 
  specimens, 
  irrespective 
  of 
  the 
  

   interest 
  attaching 
  to 
  them, 
  or 
  of 
  their 
  excellence, 
  must 
  be 
  packed 
  

   away 
  in 
  storage 
  to 
  await 
  their 
  resurrection 
  in 
  more 
  adequate 
  

   quarters.
