nasomaculatus from the Sahara. 
Turning back and approaching the spiral staircase, 
we pass a small case in which we see a beautiful 
mounted Sea-Otter (Latax lutris), noted for its valuable 
fur. Ascending the spiral staircase, we reach the 
Antelope Boom,

Bear, allied to the Grizzly, from Alaska, called
