REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 55 
only would there be a gain in space, but there would be an im¬ 
portant increase in the attractiveness of the whole Museum. So 
long as the present cases are retained, there is but little chance 
of improving the mineralogical and geological exhibits. 
If, however, it is necessary to retain the old cases for a time, 
a few new ones should at once be provided to fill the remaining 
floor space and afford a means to display some of the extra 
material on hand. 
S. R. MORSE, 
Curator.
