REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 15 
collections truly representative of the natural resources of the 
State. Additional cases are urgently needed in which to display 
the great hulk of material now in boxes in the Survey store¬ 
rooms, while the appearance of the Museum would he greatly 
improved and the available space would he greatly increased if 
the present antiquated and battered cases could he replaced by 
the type of case in use in modem museums. 
The most available additions to the Museum during the year 
have heen due directly or indirectly to the Pan-American Expo¬ 
sition. The money allotted the Survey was spent, with an eye to 
obtaining, as far as was consistent with a successful exhibit, 
material of most, permanent value to the Museum after the Expo¬ 
sition had closed. The numerous specimens of blew Jersey 
woods, mentioned in the last Report, were cut and varnished so 
as best to display the natural grain. The large relief models dis¬ 
played at Buffalo will add much to the value of the Museum from 
an educational point of view. The large glass transparencies 
will also contribute to a better knowledge of the surface features 
of the State. New specimens of building- stones have been pre¬ 
pared and suites of specimens illustrating the concentration of 
zinc, iron and copper-ores obtained.
