Report of the Curator of the New Jersey 
State Museum. 
It is my privilege to report for the year just closed the most 
substantial progress in the history of the Hew Jersey State. 
Museum. The Geological exhibits were installed in the new 
exhibit room at the close of the preceding year. Xearly all of 
the floor space has been filled with exhibits of general interest to 
the public. The Hatural History exhibits, consisting of birds, 
nests, eggs, insects, woods, with much of the Geological and For¬ 
estry exhibit from the Buffalo and Charleston Expositions, are 
now installed in the new hall. Transparencies have been placed at 
the windows, large photographs and maps have been hung on the 
walls, and have added greatly to the attractiveness of the exhibit. 
I feel that in view of the small appropriation placed at their 
disposal for procuring new exhibits the Commission has cause 
to be well satisfied with the progress made. The large number 
of visitors to the Museum would indicate that the work of the 
Commission is much appreciated by the general public.
