 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 

 Members' wraps, rest, write letters, or meet their friends. It contains 

 Room the portraits of the Presidents of the Museum and of 



Mr. Choate and Professor Bickmore who played a most important part 

 in the founding of the Museum. Here too may be found books by mem- 

 bers of the Museum staff, in many cases based on or describing the ex- 

 peditions in which they have taken part. Nearby is a bronze tablet in 

 memory of Jonathan Thorne, whose bequest provides for lectures and 

 objects for the instruction of the blind. 



South Pavilion 

 APES, MONKEYS AND LEMURS 



This hall contains the Primates, which include man, apes, monkeys 

 and lemurs. 



The Systematic Series of Primates, intended to give some idea of the 

 number of species in this order, and their range in size, form and color, 

 begins on the left with examples of the principal races of mankind and 

 is continued in the wall cases around the room, ending with the lemurs. 

 Horse-Tailed Species of especial interest are shown in groups, the first 

 Monkeys to meet the eye being the beautiful black and white 



horse-tailed monkeys. 



African At the opposite end of the hall is a group of Pigmies from the 



Pigmies Congo illustrating the simple life of this little-known people.
