The Natural History Museum contains a large and rapidly growing collection which is constantly being added to as the result of various expeditions undertaken by the professors and students of the University. At the present time a graduate of the University, Mr. Frank Russell, of the class of ' 92, is in the Northwestern Territory, where he will remain for about two years for the purpose of making collections for the museum, especially of the mammals and birds of that region. Instructor Shimek and Mr. C. L. Smith are now absent on an expedition to the region of the Nicaragua Canal. An expedition of twenty professors and students, headed by Professor Nutting, will spend three or four months next summer, on a schooner chartered for the purpose, exploring and collecting in the borhood of the Bahamas and Cuba.
