CASE 1. This case contains some material representing 
the Stroup of Ascidians {Tunicafa). It consists almost wholly 
of glass models. There is also a small amount of material be- 
longing to the Leptocardii and the Marsipohranchh. 
CASES 1 TO 6. — ^The true fishes begin in Case 1. As far 
as possible they are arranged in systematic order, beginning with 
the Sclachii (.Sharks) and ending in Case 6 with the Pedtculah 
(.Bat-fishes, etc.). 
CASES T AND S. — Contains fishes and reptiles too large to 
be placed in cases where they properly belong. The labels indi- 
cate their position in the series. 
CASE 9- Amphibia. The collection of amphibians is small, 
and is arranged in the upper portion of this case. Only two 
forms are represented, Grachcntia (the Salamanders) and the 
Saliaifia (the Frogs, Toads, etc.). ^ 
The RcpHlia also begin in this case and are continued in 
Cases 9, 10 and 11. The living orders are represented ; R/iynch- 
ocephalia, embrace the New Zealand, Tuatera ; Sqiiamata, con- 
taining the Snakes and Lizards; Cheloniaj Turtles; and Croco- 
Jilia, Crocodiles, Alligators, Gavials. Among the conspicuous 
reptiles exhibited are the Alligators, the Cayman, the Gavial, the 
large specimen of the Lace Lizard aT anus') , the Pythons, etc. 
HALL 23 AND ALCOVE 97. 
The Osteological collection consists of mounted skeletons of 
over 225 species. These belong to over fifteen orders and thirty 
families. It affords an excellent means for the study of the 
vertebrates. 
CASE 1.— Occupies the west side of Alcove 97, and con- 
tains the skeletons of cold-blooded vertebrates. 
CASE 2.— In Hall 23. Contains skeletons of the Ostrich, 
Emu. and the Rhea- 
CASE 3.— The remainder of the birds. The rest of the 
cases contain the skeletons of mammals, the arrangement cor- 
responding to that of the mammals in Halls 19 and 20, viz . be- 
ginning with the Prototheria and ending with the Quadrumana. 
In the middle of Hall 23 are skeletons of the Giraffe, Elephant, 
Hippopotamus and the Rhinoceros ; in the middle of Alcove 97 
the Camel and Wapiti-
