20 report of new jersey state museum. 
THE GEOLOGICAL EXHIBIT. 
This is fully described in a papar by the State Geologist, 
Henry B. Kummel, in this report, as is also the Insect Exhibit 
by Professor John B. Smith, State Entomologist. 
The Educational is described in this report by State Super¬ 
intendent, C. J. Baxter, in a report to United States Commis¬ 
sioner Harris, and also by other reports and illustrations by 
the director. The Fish and Game Exhibit was wholly taken 
from the Museum, and will soon be returned to the State 
House and placed in the exhibit rooms at Trenton. 
Much of the credit for the success of the New Jersey State 
Exhibit at St. Louis is due to the following: 
The New Jersey Commissioners for the Louisiana Purchase 
Exposition at St. Louis, Foster M. Voorhees, Chief Commis¬ 
sioner, Elbert Rappely, Edgar B. Ward, Wm. H. Wiley, 
Edward R. Weiss, James T. McMurray, Ira W. Wood, C. E. 
Breckenridge, Johnston Cornish, Harvey Humphreys and 
Richard W. Herbert, and especially to its Secretary, Colonel 
Lewis T. Bryant, who did everything in his power to make 
the New Jersey Exhibits a success. Also to State Superin¬ 
tendent of Public Instruction, C. J. Baxter, State Geologist, 
Henry B. Kummel, State Taxidermist, Wm. M. Werner, and 
State Entomologist, Prof. J. B. Smith. The success of the 
Educational Exhibit is largely due to Superintendent C. J. 
Baxter, who has done so much to advance the cause of educa¬ 
tion in New Jersey. 
We cannot give too much credit to Secretary Colonel Lewis 
T. Bryant for the interest and assistance he has given us to 
make the exhibits a success. Never before has a secretary 
of a Commission done so much. He not only secured the 
space for the Exhibits at St. Louis, at a very early day, but 
had them all ready to receive the exhibits when they arrived 
in the buildings. Besides he provided a first-class home, in 
the State Building, for those who superintended, and those 
who cared for the exhibits, making it pleasant for them, and 
saved the State many hundred dollars. 
The New Jersey Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission 
is to be congratulated on procuring such a capable person to 
look after its interest.
