...Museum of Comparative Zoology has just been enriched by a magnificent collection of deep-sea animals taken from the waters adjacent to the islands from Cuba to Trinidad inclusive, and also by a collection made on land, in order to compare the representations of these islands.

...architect of Sever Hall might well get some hints for fitting up the professors' retiring-rooms from the arrangements of this car. A silver-plated hook for the professor to hang his hat on would be the first requisite. A nickel-plated lamp would also be very convenient at the four-to-five recitations in winter.

It hangs somewhat, and is not carried through; it is sluggish on the shoot, and the catch is not well marked. The dip is also too deep, time not well marked, and feather rather uneven. Bow, two, six, and eight clip, and three and five bucket. Bow, two, four, six, and seven do not reach out far enough, and three and five over-reach. No change has been made in the men since they were last published. The average weight...
