Total 749,742 



As a matter of record, it may be noted that some of the labels, 

 particularly those for mammals, contain as much reading matter 

 as a printed page, sometimes as much as two, and some are in 

 the nature of small posters, measuring 18" x 24", planned to be 

 read at a distance, or, as is often the case, by a number of visitors 

 at once. 



Probably the most elaborate "label" installed during the year 

 was that prepared by Ellsworth Huntington, for the Big Tree, 

 in connection with the exhibit of the Eugenics Congress. This 

 included a curve showing weather conditions for 3,000 years, a 

 general statement of the relation of weather to Eugenics, and 

 thirteen more or less detailed statements of the more important 

 historical events during the past related to changes in climate.
