THE WORLD/S INDUSTRIAL and COTTON CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION, NEW ORLEANS, LA., 1884-’85. LIST OF CRANIA AND SKELETONS IN THE SECTION OF COMPARATIVE ANATOMY, IN THE Army Medical Museum, at Washington, D. C. This list of the skeletons and crania, contained in the Section of Comparative Anatomy of the United States Army Medical Museum, is printed for the purpose of indicating the deficiencies of the collection and the contributions to it which would be most desirable. It is proposed to enlarge this section of the collection in such a way as to make it most useful for illustrating human anatomy, both patho- logical and physiological; and to this end it is proposed to form, in addition to complete skeletons, sets or series of the different bones and organs, to illustrate the development and peculiarities of similar bones and organs in man. For this purpose it is desired to obtain specimens of pelves; of the upper extremity, including the bones of the shoulder girdle; of the lower extremity; of the carpus and tarsus, etc., to illus- trate the principal types of these bones in the vertebrata. The appropriations for the support of the Museum are too limited to permit of the expenditure of any considerable sums on the collection of comparative anatomy. The speci- mens enumerated in the following list were, for the most part, collected by medical and other officers of the army on 4 duty at frontier posts. For the present, substantial increase of the collections can only be expected from donations, which will be thankfully received from any quarter. Skeletons of the following North American animals are much desired for this section of the Museum: Wild Cat {Lynx rufui); Canada Lynx {Lynx canadensis); Eyra, {Fells eyra,) Texas; Yaguarundi, {Fells yagvarundi,) Texas; Pan- ther {Felis concolar); Jaguar, {Fells onca,) Texas; Ocelot {Fells pardalis); Fisher{Mustela pennanti); Wolverine (Gulo luscus); Badger (Taxidca americana); White-backed Skunk, {Conepatus mapurito,) Texas; Little striped Skunk, {Spilogale zorilla,) Pacific slope; Otter {Lutra canadensis); Sea Otter {Enhydra marina); Grizzly Bear {Ursus arctos); Black Bear {Ursus americanus); Peccary {Dicotyles torquatus); Mountain Goat {Mazama montana); Antelope {Antilocapra americana); Arma- dillo, {Tatusia peba,) Texas, especially foetuses; Snowy Owl {Nyctea nivea); Hawk Owl {Surnia vivid); Burrowing Owl {Spheofyto cunicularia); Marsh Harrier {Circus cyancus); Mississippi Kite {Ictinia mississipiensis); Swallow-tailed Kite {Nauclerus furcatus); Duck Hawk {Falco peregrinus); Fish Hawk {Pandion halisetus); Wood Ibis {Tantalus loculator); Cormorant {Graculus carbo); Courlan {Aramus scolopaceus); White Pelican {Pelicanus trachyrhynchus); Gannet {Sula bas- sana), and others. In skeletons intended for the Museum no attempt should be made at cleaning; and especially they should not be boiled. If the animal is obtained in a fresh state, the flesh should be roughly cut off and the skeleton hung up in the shade to dry. Care should be taken that none of the small bones are lost, especially the hyoid bones. In taking out the viscera the costal cartilages should be left attached to ribs and sternum; but if it is found necessary in the case of large animals to disarticulate the ribs, the costal cartilages should always be left attached to the sternum. In animals as large or larger than the Prairie Wolf the skull and limbs may be 5 severed from the body, and the vertebral column divided in the lumbar region, for convenience in packing. In animals smaller than this the limbs, skull, etc., should be left at- tached. The limbs and tail can be neatly folded while the ligaments are soft and flexible. In the case of animals that have died and decomposed upon the plain, care should be exercised in getting all the bones. Skeletons should be packed in a tight box, with plenty of hay or straw to prevent breakage of the delicate processes. Small animals are best preserved in alcohol, in which case an incision should be made along the middle line of the abdomen to give the alco- hol access to the viscera. John S. Billings, Surgeon U. S. Army, Curator Army Medical Museum. LIST OF CRANIA AND SKELETONS OF MAMMALS. Note.—In tbe preparation of this list the classification adopted is nearly the same as that of Dr. Theo.
