The British Guiana Museum. 215 
short movable proboscis, of four toes on the fore-leg, 
three being functional, and of three toes on the hind-leg 
— a type once widely distributed over the northern 
hemisphere, but at the present day confined to South 
America and the Malay region. 
In the next case are shewn photographs of the pictured 
or Timehri rocks of Guiana (of which a better series is 
shewn among the photographs already mentioned), and 
a colle6lion of British Guiana flint-implements from the 
Warramuri shell-mound and various other districts ; while 
various objefts, such as broken pottery, quartz fragments, 
broken flint-implements, shells, bones of animals — some 
human — which were taken from the kitchen-midden or 
refuse-mound at Cabacaboori, are also exhibited. Over- 
head is suspended the specimen of a shark which, having 
been badly prepared, is rapidly shewing the signs of 
decay. 
The next obje6l to be seen is a bronze group by Hat- 
field after the original by ARMSTEAD, representing 
Satan dismayed (Paradise Lost, Book 1). Satan, the 
lower part of his body in the form of a serpent, is repre-

under the guise of a serpent, but completely so. The 
concentrated look of hatred, defiance and dismay on 
Satan's face as he gazes upwards at the majestic ex- 
pelling Angel, is finely portrayed. 
In the next two cases are exhibited skins and mounted 
specimens of the mammals of the colony. Many of the 
latter are extremely poor, and it is hoped that sometime 
soon it will be possible to renew them. The skins 
are liable to vary in number and kind, owing to the 
circumstance of mounting : reference will therefore
