Case 24.— The upper portion of this case contains the Procy- 
onidae (Raccons, Panda, etc.) and the lower species which belong 
to the large family of Mustelidse. Among the interesting forms 
are the Otters, Sea-otter, the Skunks, Badgers, Martens, the Glut- 
ton, etc. 
The Minks, Wolverine, etc., are in the lower portion of Case 
25, in the upper part of which are displayed the Insectivora, 
among which are found the strange Tenrec ( Centetes) of Madagas- 
car, the Solenodon from Cuba, the Hedge-hog, the Shrews, the 
Moles, and the so-called Flying Lemur {^Galeopithecus) from 
Sumatra. 
Case 26. — In the south half of this case are Chiroptera (bats), 
among which are some large and remarkable species. The larger 
species belong to the family of Fruit-bats, living on fruits and the 
juices of plants. The smaller bats subsist mostly on insects. 
In the south half of this case, and in Case 27, are representa- 
tives of the order Quadrumana, containing the Lemurs, Monkeys 
and Chimpanzee. Some twenty-seven species are here shown. 
There is a case of Orangs and another of Proboscis monkeys ex- 
hibited in the West Court. 
HALL 22- 
FISHES AND REPTILES. 
In this Hall are representatives of the cold-blooded vertebrates 
or vertebrate-like animals which are included in the following 
classes: (the Ascidians) ; Leptocardii (the Lancelets) ; 
Marsipobranchii (tha Lampreys) \ Pisces Sharks Rays and the 
Batrachia (Salamanders Frogs, Toads, etc.) ; 
tilia (Snakes, Lizards, Turtles, etc.) 
The first four classes are represented in the six cases in the 
north half of the hall, the remaining two classes are in the three 
cases in the south quarter of the hall, while the remaining two 
cases contain animals too large to be placed in the other cases 
where they properly belong. 
Case 1. — This case contains some material representing the 
group of Ascidians ( Tunicata). It consists almost wholly of glass 
models. There is also a small amount of material belonging to 
the Leptocardii and the Marsipobranchii.
