exhibits, work which calls for the services of a very considerable number 

 of artists and artisans. 



Here are cast, modeled, or mounted the figures for the many groups 

 from Man to Myxine, here leaves are made to grow and flowers to bloom 

 as accessories for beasts,* birds and fishes, to say nothing of reptiles and 

 amphibians, and here, with painstaking care, are slowly created in glass 

 and wax the magnified copies of invertebrates. 



From all this may be gathered that a museum is a very busy place, 

 much more so than the casual visitor is apt to imagine. In fact, a very 

 good museum man has said that a museum is much like an iceberg, seven- 

 eighths of it under water and invisible. We will now proceed to the visible 

 eighth.
