REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
SHEETS. 
A collection of salt-water shells has been made, which con¬ 
tains nearly all of the species found on the Atlantic coast. Addi¬ 
tions thereto* will be made as circumstances permit. The col¬ 
lection of fresh-water shells is quite well under way. We now 
have a good exhibit in this line and hope to add to it each year. 
INDIAN REEICS. 
No effort has been made to collect Indian relics, but through 
the courtesy of Mr. Long, of Trenton, N. J., we have a very 
good collection of arrow heads, battle axes, &c. 
EXHIBITS FROM THE PHITIPPINES. 
Mr. Moore Van Camp, a native of New Jersey, who at the 
commencement of the Cuban trouble enlisted in the insurgent 
cause, being on the staff of General Garcia, and after the end of 
the Cuban war went to the Philippines, where he served eighteen 
months, has presented the Museum with a very fine collection of 
trophies from that country, consisting of a Philippino flag, a 
piece of recaptured American flag, several fine bolo knives, 
arrows, daggers, a captain’s uniform, a kris, &c. 
THE PUBIvIC SCHOOE EXHIBIT. 
The school exhibit consists mainly of the work prepared for 
the World’s Fair held at Chicago in 1893, and which received so 
much attention and praise as well as the highest awards. Nearly 
all of the exhibit is still in the Museum and has been viewed by 
thousands of persons from New Jersey and the other States. It 
is displayed in sixty-five of the New Jersey wing cabinets and 
1,000 bound volumes, and also* includes a large number of framed 
pieces, manual training work, specimens of sewing, clay model¬ 
ing, &c., in show cases. The lack of room has been a great draw-
