Prefatory Note. 



It is the i)uri)()S(> of this (luidc to call attention to the more iiiipoiiaiit 

 exliil)its that the visitor will sec as he ])asses thr()ii«2;h the halls; more 

 detailed inforniation rc^gardinii; many of tluMii may he obtained from the 

 labels or from the (luide Lcdflcts. 



It is frcHjiKMitly necessary to ri^arran.^e the exhibits in order to provide 

 space for new material or to put into effect advanced ideas rej>;ardin^ 

 methods of exhil)ition, and as these changes are taking place all the time, 

 it unavoidably happens that now and then discrepancies will be found 

 between the actual arrangement of the specimens and that noted in the 

 Guide. Dr. Goode has said that a finished museum is a dead museum, 

 and it is hoped that the visitor will look upon these necessary changes 

 as indications of life and progress.

The halls are named according to the position they will have in the completed Museum build- 

 ing, which will consist of four long facades, facing east, west, north and south respectively, each con- 

 nected with the center of the quadrangle formed by a wing extending between open courts. Thus 

 the hall at the eastern end of the south facade (the only facade completed) becomes the "southeast 

 paviHon."
