ROOM IV. 
Here the series of Reptilian remains is continued, by the Sea-rep- 
tiles already alluded to in the account of the preceding room, the 
Ichthyosauri occupying the Wall Cases 1-5. In Wall Cases 6 and 7 
is continued the suite of Mammalian remains belonging to the order 
Ruminantia; Case 6 contains the Cervine remains, and Case 7 the 
Bovine, the heads and antlers being placed on the top of the Cases. 
In a series of small Table Cases beneath the windows are placed 
various remains of Reptiles, Birds, and Marsupial Mammalia. 
In Table Case 6 is a selected series of Mammalian remains, and 
other Vertebrata, from the Red Crag of Suffolk. A series of Fossil 
Sponges from the Chalk, Green-sand, Oolitic, Devonian, and Silurian 
formations is displayed in the window recesses of this room. 
The gigantic bird, in a case between the windows, forms part of the 
collection of extinct New Zealand birds arranged in Wall Case 11 of 
Room III. 
ROOM V. 
Here the Wall Cases are occupied by Mammalian remains. 
In Case VI. are placed the Fossil Carnivora (the Cave-Lion, 
Hyaena, Wolf, &c). In Cases I, and II. are arranged (1) the re- 
mains of the Cave-Bear and other Ursidce; (2) the Cetaceans, Ziphius, 
Zeuglodon, &c. ; (3) a large series of Hippopotami, remains of which 
are uncommon in England; the specimens in the Wall Case are 
chiefly from fresh-water formations in Italy, France and India. The 
existing Hippopotamus is restricted to the Continent of Africa. 
Cases III. to V. contain various other Pachyderms from England, 
France, Germany, Italy, and India. Remains of several species of 
Rhinoceros from each of these countries are exhibited, together with 
the Horse, Hippotherium, Tapir, Palaotherium, Anoplotherium, Pig, 
&c. In Table Case No. 13 are arranged remains of several small 
Mammalia, including the Monkey, Bat, Beaver, &c. Here is also 
exhibited a very interesting series of remains of small Mammalia 
from the Purbeck Beds, near Swanage, in Dorsetshire. 
In the centre of this Room are skeletons of the male and female 
gigantic Irish Deer (Cervus megaceros), a series of antlers of which 
is placed on the Wall Cases, where are also exhibited a collection of 
skulls of Ruminants from India. 
In the Table Cases of the rooms Nos. V. and VI. are arranged the 
Fossil species of the Invertebrate classes (animals without back-bone), 
called Mollusca, Articulata, and Radiata. 
Corals (Zoophyta). In Table Cases 16 and 17, Room V., are ex- 
hibited a series of Tertiary and Cretaceous Corals, Oolitic corals, 
polished sections of "Madrepores," from the Devonshire marble; 
and Silurian Corals from Dudley, Gotland, and North America. The 
series is continued in Cases in the window recess, including fine 
examples of the " Chain-coral " brought home by the Arctic expedi- 
tion under Captain Kellett.
