...collection comprises some ten thousand skins, mostly of Eastern North American specimens, and includes about a hundred type specimens. The skulls of the animals are kept in separate cases, and are numbered to correspond with the respective skins-a method not adopted in the preparation of the original collection, where the skulls are not removed and consequently are not readily studied. Every specimen is accompanied by a label, with full data, including measurements made from the living animal...

Without casting slurs upon Massachusetts, I am free to say that it is the West that Harvard should look for new material in each new class; and yet the West, with a vastly larger population than in 1894, has diminished representation by nearly...
