THIRD FLOOR 

 EAST CORRIDOR 



To the left of the elevators is a room set apart for the 

 use of honorary or subscribing members of the Museum, 

 where they may leave their wraps, rest, write letters, or 

 meet their friends. Near by is a bronze tablet in memory of Jonathan 

 Thorne, whose bequest provides for lectures and objects for the instruc- 

 tion of the bhnd. 



SOUTH PAVILION 



Monkeys, Apes, Rodents, Bats 



This is one of the halls in course of rearrangement and, in the final 

 plan, is intended to include primitive man as well as the other members 

 of the order Primates. 



The family of orang-utans, on the south side, was one of the first 

 groups of large animals to be mounted in this country, and was considered 

 a daring innovation. Near by are examples of the gorilla, the largest 

 and most powerful of the great apes, and the chimpanzee, which is the 

 most hke man in proportions and structure. "Mr. Crowley," one of 

 the few full-gro^^^l apes that have endured captivity, lived for some time 

 in the Central Park Zoo. Skeletons of man and the large apes illustrate 

 the similarities and difference in structures between them, and these 

 are supplemented by figures of some of the many races of man.
