9. American Museum, Central Parh, New Fw^.— This Mu- 

 seum is rapidly becoming one of the first of the country in scien- 

 tific value. With Prof Hall's collection of fossils, and the addition 

 soon expected of a suite of Barrande's Bohemian species, it will take 

 the lead of all as regards Paleozoic paleontology. The Museum 

 has also very large collections of birds, including the collections of 

 Prince Maximilian of Neuwied and extensive selections from those 

 of M. Vemeaux of Paris, and others of shells, insects, etc. The 

 citj^ of New York appropriated $500,000 for a building, and part 

 of it IS now completed. Already the persons visiting the Museum 

 occasionally number over 10,000 in a day. Tlie Museum is under 

 the general charge of Professor Bickmore, a former student of Pro- 

 fessor Agassiz.
