HALL OF INVERTEBRATES 



At this writing almost nothing has been done to- 

 ward the rearrangement of this room except to re- 

 move most of the geological material formerly stored 

 here and to gather here some of the invertebrate ma- 

 terial scattered elsewhere. 



The plans for this room contemplate a cleaning, 

 labeling, and remounting of the corals; the prepa- 

 ration of drawer cases so that material not to be dis- 

 played or now in storage can be made available to 

 students or others interested ; and the preparation of 

 the following series, among others, for exhibition: 



Synoptical series of families of mollusca. 



Complete series of the marine, freshwater, and land 

 shells of South Carolina. 



Small series illustrating the more interesting and 

 typical shells of other provinces, as the Pacific Coast 

 of the United States, etc. 



Distributional series showing vertical range. 



Life series showing growth and development of 

 well known forms, etc. 



Economic series, edible series, with maps showing 

 their distribution, etc. 



Shells yielding mother-of- pearl } pearls, shells used 

 for the manufacture, of buttons, etc.
