could be provided for them In a private
house; to find space for them IL was
necessary to build a museum. This Mr..
Rothschild did. and the building. a plain
structure OF red brick admirably adapted
to Its purpose. was formerly opened to
the public a little more than year ago.
since which time, on the four days
week that IL is open. IL has been visited
by about 5000 persons. II may be well
TO state. In order TO remove msunder-
standings which have already given a
great deal OF trouble TO the curator,
that the museum is wholly and entirely
geological: that II is not miscellaneous
or antiquarian and that contributions OF
old oak chests. sedan chairs. ancient
embroidered waistcoats and the like are
not invited.
This museum is divided into two depai L
ments. the public galleries and the stu
dents department. The first contains at
present mounted typical collection OF all
orders. as follows: About $50 stuffed mann
mails. 5000 stuffed birds, about 800 reptiles
stuffed and in spirit; about 800 fishes,
stuffed and in spirit; about 1900 insects OF
the most typical and representative forms,
mounted. and about l,5lO shells. corals.
sponges, and lower animals. OF course
these numbers. though large, are as moth
ing IN comparison Win the variety OF
species existing in nature, and the problem
before Mr. RothscLild in aYrangipg the
public part of the museum was a problem
Of selection. His solution has been to
give a nearly complete collection OF the
birds and animals Of the British Isles,
and, as regards the rest OF the world,
examples OF the most interesting and
sometimes Of the rarest species. whether
actually existing or recently or long since
extinct.
In the British Department not the least
valuable part Is a cabinet OF glazed
drawers, accessible to every visitor, con-
tanning a nearly complete collection OF
British butterflies and moths. Among the
manuals we may notice the largest go
