36 SECOND FLOOR 
On account of their height, the casts of two stele from the 
ruins of Quirigua, Guatemala, have been installed in this hall 
instead of in Hall No. 4o2. 
Beyond this hall one passes into the corner hall of the West 
Wing (No. 201), which contains extensive collections of the an- 
tiquities of the central and eastern parts of North 
Archeology : : : 
of Central. Merica. The specimens are arranged according to 
and Eastern the localities where they were found, those from the 
eee northern region being on the north side of the hall; 
"from the eastern, on the east side, etc. The antiquities 
from Manhattan Island and the vicinity of New York City, a 
model of an Ohio mound and a cache of 4,800 chipped objects 
from Illinois (probably constituting a prehistoric arsenal) are of 
special interest. There is an extensive exhibit of the artifacts 
and human bones which have been found in the terraces along 
the Delaware River, near Trenton, N. J., in the course of inves- 
tigations carried on during many years by the Museum. These 
remains are thought to indicate that man was in existence upon 
this continent at the close of or during the later stages of the 
Glacial Epoch. There is a Guide Leaflet to the “ Saginaw 
Valley Collection,” which may be borrowed or purchased of the 
attendant. 
In the Tower Room are displayed types of prehistoric imple- 
ments, forming the Andrew E. Douglass Collection, which was 
presented to the Museum in 1900. 
Going back again to the East Corridor (No. 205), the visitor 
will descend to the ground floor of the building and there com- 
plete his survey of the Museum.
