Prefatory Note 



It is the purpose of this Guide to call attention to the more important 

 exhibits that the visitor will see as he passes through the halls. More 

 detailed information regarding the specimens may be obtained from the 

 labels or from the Guide Leaflets. 



It is frequently necessary to rearrange the exhibits in order to provide 

 space for new material or to put into effect advanced ideas regarding meth- 

 ods of exhibition, 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 exhibits 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 fagade completed) becomes the "southeast 

 pavilion."
