REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
23 
the first New Jersey has ever made. This contained samples 
of some of the woods cut so as to show the horizontal, lateral 
and quarter cuts with the barks, a case of sliced woods in cabi¬ 
nets showing* between glass, the grain, growth, sap cells, &c., 
with several cases of insects injurious to the forests of the State; 
some manual training work of the public schools, large photo¬ 
graphs of forests, with the forestry maps of the State prepared 
by the Geological Department, and photographs of the trees, 
showing them with and without foliage. 
WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE MUSEUM. 
In order to carry out the plans of the Museum Commission, it 
is necessary to have several new show-cases, for which a requisi¬ 
tion has been placed with the State House Commission. 
The members of the Commission appreciate what has been 
done for the Museum by the State House Commission, and hope 
that it will receive in the future suitable appropriations to pro¬ 
vide other necessary furnishings. 
The thanks of the Museum Commission and the Curator are 
also due to the Custodian of the State House for his uniform 
courtesy and his able assistance in carrying out their plans. 
The Commission also wish to extend its thanks to the several 
persons who have contributed specimens for the Museum, and to 
those who have shown so much interest in its success.
