io8 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY 
Among the interesting forms are the Otters, Sea-otter, the 
Skunks, Badgers, Martens, the Glutton, 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 Mada- 
gascar, 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 north half of this case, and in Case 27, are represen- 
tatives 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 Probos- 
cis Monkeys exhibited in the West Court. 
Hall 22. 
FISHES AND REPTILES. 
In this hall are representatives of the cold-blooded verte- 
brates or vertebrate -like animals which are included in the fol- 
lowing classes : T unicata (the Ascidians) ; Leptocardii (the 
Lancelets); Marsipohranchii (the Lampreys); Pisces (the 
Sharks, Rays and the true fishes); Batrackia (Salamanders, 
Frogs, Toads, etc.); Reptilia (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 i. — 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 be- 
longing to the Leptocardii and the Marsipohranchii. 
Cases i to 6. — The true fishes begin in Case i. As far 
as possible they are arranged in systematic order, beginning with 
the Selachii (Sharks) and ending in Case 6 with the Pediculati 
(Bat-fishes, etc.).
