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: Tunicata (the Ascidians) ; Lepfocardii (the 
Lancelets) ; Marsipobranchii (the Lampreys) ; Pisces (the 
Sharks, Rays and the True Fishes) ; Batrachia (Salamanders, 
Frogs, Toads, etc.) ; Reptilia (Snakes, Lizards, Turtles and Croc- 
odiles). Owing to the nature of the material and its prepara- 
tion for exhibition, it is not possible to arrange it in systematic 
order, beginning with the lower forms and ending with the 
higher. This arrangement is, however, made where possible. 
Cases 1 and 2. — These cases contain glass models of some 
Ascidians {Tunicata) and mounted Fishes arranged in systematic 
order. In these cases are represented many of the orders of 
fishes. 
Cases 3 and 4. — These cases contain mounted Fresh-water 
Fishes. In the upper portion of these cases are 8 groups show- 
ing the Fishes in their natural environment, as follows : Sun- 
fishes, Perch, Small and Large-mouthed Black Basses, Walleyed 
Pike, Pickerel and Garpike. The lower portions of these cases 
contain Fresh-water Fishes preserved in formalin and arranged 
in systematic order. 
Case 5. — This case contains in its upper portion six groups 
of mounted Tropical American Fishes. These are mounted 
with accessories to show natural habitat. Among these are many 
of the brilliantly colored Coral Fishes. In the lower portion of 
this case is a large Tiger Shark with her young. This Shark 
was taken at Key West, Florida. The young, 44 in number, 
ready to be born, were taken from the body of the large one. 
The Tiger Shark is the largest and most ferocious shark in 
West Indian waters.
