14 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
mitted to them by the Museum Commission was adopted. The 
third story was assigned to the State Museum. It was fin¬ 
ished in 1901. It is a very nice room, a credit to all concerned. 
It was occupied early in 1902. 
At present it is entirely too small, and when the exhibits 
from the St. Louis Exposition are returned and placed in the 
Museum there will not be room sufficient for them, and more 
room should be provided at once. 
THE FOLLOWING STATES HAVE ADOPTED THE 
NEW JERSEY MUSEUM PLAN. 
As far as is known this plan has been adopted by the follow¬ 
ing: 
New York State, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, California and 
Louisiana. No doubt several other States and cities have or 
will follow New Jersey in this as in other things. 
ADDITIONS TO THE MUSEUM DURING THE YEAR. 
FISH. 
Through the interest of the State Fish and Game Com¬ 
mission especially the President of the Commission, Ben¬ 
jamin P. Morris, we have added several fine specimens 
of New Jersey fresh and salt water fish to the Depart¬ 
ment of Natural History in the Museum. For the in¬ 
terest taken by the Commission and the specimens donated 
to the Museum, the Commission of the New Jersey State Mu¬ 
seum are gratified, and appreciate having a State Fish and 
Game Commission that will work in harmony with the aim of 
the Museum Commission to make the State Museum one that 
will make every Jersey man proud.
