o 
The Mammalia are exhibited in three Galleries : — 
1. The Mammalian Gallery (on the first floor), in which is 
placed the series of stuffed specimens, with the exception of the 
Sirenia and Cetacea. Skeletons of the most important types are 
incorporated with this series. Also the collection of Antlers of the 
family of Deer are ranged along the tops of the cases. 
2. The Osteological Gallery (on the second floor), which con- 
tains the complete series of skeletons and skulls. The stuffed 
Sirenia and the collection of Horns of the Oxen, Antelopes, and 
Sheep are also placed in this Gallery. 
3. The Cetacean Gallery (in the basement), which contains 
stuffed specimens and skeletons of the Whales and Dolphins. 
MAMMALIAN GALLERY. 
In this Gallery, which is devoted to the exhibition of the stuffed 
specimens, the contents are arranged in a continuous series in the 
Pier-cases, the order commencing on the left hand as the visitor 
enters. Large specimens are placed in the Recesses between the 
Cases or in the Saloon at the western end of the Gallery. Some 
large Cases in the centre of the Gallery contain the Seals and Sea- 
Lions, and certain of the larger Ungulates, and the collection of 
Antlers of Cervidce or Deer is distributed throughout the Gallery, on 
the top of the Cases or on the Piers. The great size of some of the 
Cetaceans (Whales and Dolphins) has prevented them from being 
placed with the other members of their Class : and a separate 
Gallery in the basement has been prepared for their reception.
