This collection will be placed in one case with this general label: — 



Prehistoric Stone Implements 

 Presented (and largely found) by 

 yeywood Walter Seton-Karr 

 of the 



British Military Service in Egypt 

 September, 1907. 



Mr. Bowne adds to his account of the Seton-Karr collection this 

 plea : "We still need a small series of the prehistoric stone implements 

 of Britain and France, another of the ancient Lake Dwellers of 

 Switzerland, and still another showing the work of the aborigines of 

 Central and South America. It would be quite possible to get them 

 for a moderate price from the duplicates of American and European 

 museums if some of our friends would furnish the means.

The Clarence B. Moore Gift of Shell Implements from Florida. 



Mr. Bowne has also secured an important addition to the depart- 

 ment of archeology in a collection he describes as follows: "A lot of 

 shell implements from the southwest coast of Florida and the ad-

 The implements given are fully described in his 'Antiquities of the 

 Florida West Coast,' 'Miscellaneous Investigations in Florida,' and 

 'Notes on the Ten Thousand Islands' in the Catharine L. Howard 

 Library." 



South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska Fossils. 



Professor F. B. Loomis of the department of biology in Amherst 

 College has given the museum a notable collection of fossils illus- 

 trating the early mammalian life of this continent. Among the forms 

 represented are remains of two animals, the Eohippus and the Meso- 

 hippus, progenitors of the horse of to-day. There are also specimens 

 of fossils of early monkey forms and of the ancestors of the antelope 

 of the western plains. Other species represented are the rhinoceros, 

 hippopotamus, dog, tortoise, and camel. These remains are mostly of
