An en- thusiastic and unanimous vote was immediately taken with the result that Thursday, March 10, was set as the date. We were to be accompanied by our English teacher, Mr. Clow, who wished to take us to Agassiz's Museum of Comparative Zool- ogy in the morning. Thursday morning dawned clear and spring-like and the sun shone brightly on a happy cla-ss leav- ing Norwell High School. We drove in private cars direct to the museum. One of the first rooms that we visited was the flora of the United States made of glass. The art of making these flow- ers was lost at the death of a distinguished naturalist, who refused to disclose the secret of making these flowers. In this room ea-ch step in the development of the flower is illus- trated clearly. Many times a single bloom with a bee suck- ing out the honey, is magnified many times, to show where the honey is secreted. The Malayan Pitcher plant was o-ne of the curious flowers noted. It has many pitcher shaped blooms turned up to catch the water. In one section of the museum were rooms filled with birds surrounded by their natural elements. The nest of the raven was most interesting, made of leaves, grass, roots and twigs. One of the most spectacular birds is the Lyre bird. He is very proud of his tail, which is shaped much like that of a lyre. Another colorful bird is the Carolina Paroquet which is fast becoming extinct. There were rooms filled with mammals of all countries! The Indian Fruit Bat and the Orang-Outang from Borneo were rather fierce looking creatures as was the ant-eater and Giant Armadillo from Ecuador. If those who saw the Lost World remember' some of the large man-eating animals they can realize the size of some in this museum. The skeletons of many of those extinct ani- mals reach to the ceiling of the highest room. The Arctic Sea Cow found in the Bering Sea looks so-mewhat like a wal- rus on a large scale. The Devil fish or Octopus, so-called by its eight legs, is suspended from t'he ceiling of one hallway. A great deal of the history of these ancient animals may be found by examining their teeth. An animal with worn flat teeth ate plants and grains, while those with sharp teeth ate meat.
