Note 



(a) The material for these series is in the main at 

 hand, but at this writing has not been arranged. 



(b) These series are at present left in the regular syste- 

 matic series, but are distinguished by the marked labels. 



(c) These series are still in the initiatory stage, and 

 will not be put on display until a larger amount of 

 material has been gotten together. 



The above outline has been prepared to meet the 

 most immediate needs of the classes in Biology and 

 Geology. It is capable of almost unlimited expan- 

 sion, as the necessary material can be secured and 

 the necessary time found for its arrangement and 

 labelling. As will be evident from the case refer- 

 ences ? at the time this Guide goes to press the new 

 series in Botany exist only in plans, and in Geology 

 the full exposition of the material on hand must be 

 delayed until funds warrant completing the cases in 

 the gallery. Meanwhile selections to indicate the 

 scope of the different series are being prepared and 

 will be shown as far as the present cases will permit. 



In the same way examination of many of the new 

 series will reveal that the present Museum specimens 

 serve only as a nucleus, around which it is hoped to 

 gather much new material, eventually serving to 

 illustrate quite fully a large number of the principles 

 of natural history.
