FUTURE SCOPE AND ARRANGEMENT OF EXHIBITIONS 
also known and may be splendidly shown both in transparencies 
and in large mural restorations. 
At this time the first small mammals were discovered and gave 
transition to the Caenozoic life of the South Hall, which will be devoted 
to the TERTIARY MAMMALS. This hall, which represents the 
results of twenty years of exploration and purchase, is now overcrowded, 
and it is proposed to move the Quaternary mammals into the Pavilion 
Hall beyond, the ample proportions of which lend themselves admirably 
to the crowning forms of LIFE OF PLEISTOCENE times, the great 
elephants and mastodons of North America, as well as the ponderous 
forms of South America, assembled in our Pampean Collection. 
This will complete the circuit of the Past History of Life in a 
manner which will be unrivaled in any museum in the world, and it is 
peculiarly appropriate to present in mural paintings on the walls here 
the Pleistocene man as a hunter of these great mammals in Europe and 
North America and as the artist who depicted forms with rare fidelity 
on the walls of caves in Europe. This PLEISTOCENE Hall, there- 
fore, like that below it, connects perfectly the zoological with the 
anthropological section to the west, and gives us a perfect sequence. 
The Hall of AFRICAN ANTHROPOLOGY, to the west, is rapidly 
being prepared for the munificent gifts of the late King of the Belgians, 
through a number of important purchases, through photographs 
donated to us by several explorers, and through our own expeditions 
in various parts of Africa. It is one of the halls in which a splendid 
arrangement and exhibition is already in sight. The visitor then 
passes into the Southwest Pavilion displaying the anthropology of 
the PACIFIC ISLANDS, of POLYNESIA, of HAWAII, where our 
collections are still in the initial stage. 
In the adjoining hall of the Southwest Wing, however, we enter the 
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, where our collections are really very rich 
and promise to be nearly complete in the course of a few more years. 
The next section west of the Entrance Pavilion brings us naturally 
to CHINA AND JAPAN, from which we have already secured, through 
the East Asiatic Committee, gifts from Mr.^J. H. Schiff, Mr. Edward D.
