THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION TO BE 
HELD AT ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, 1904. 
The New Jersey State Commission for the St. Louis Exposition 
has called upon us to make exhibits from the Geological, the For¬ 
estry and the Fish and Game Departments. . 
The Department of Public Instruction is also preparing an 
exhibit for the Commission that is similar m many respects to 
Museum’s present Educational Exhibit. 
The State Geologist, Dr. Henry B. Hummel, assisted by M. S. 
II. Hamilton, is also preparing a State Geological Exinn 
shown at St Louis, and portions of the material for these exlnb s 
will come from the State Museum, thus showing the importance of 
its maintenance. . . , , i OI . r i 
At the close of the Exposition all this material, both old and 
new will be returned to the State Museum, thus greatly enlarging 
our collection and serving to illustrate the valuable series of reports 
on the natural resources of the State, issued by our State Geologist 
during the past fifty years.
