Text Appearing Before Image:
THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURNAL The Chukchee are fond of games and contests of all sorts. Wrestling and various ball-games are well-known amusements of the elders. Among children the favorite toys are dolls and tops. Specimens of the objects used in the sports and by the children are shown in the collection which is on exhibition in the Siberian Hall (Hall No. loi).
Text Appearing After Image:
THE STORER COLLECTION OF SHELLS. ))HE Department of Conchology has received as a gift from Mr. Albert H. Storer of this city the valuable collection of shells which was made by his father. The elder Mr. Storer through his con- nections with shipping interests had many oppor- tunities of obtaining shells from the sailors and captains of ships, in the days when some handsome species were more common than they are now. The Storer Collection comprises about 3,500 specimens. Its importance to the Museum lies in the representa- tion of the more showy genera, such as Cypr^a, Voluta, Melo, Cymbium, Conus, Harpa, Mitra, Oliva, Strombus, Scalaria, Murex, Turbo and Phasianella. The examples of these and other genera, on account of their individual variation or per- fection, will prove to be attractive additions to the exhibition series. The marine forms greatly predominate over the land shells, as might be expected from the manner in which the collection was made. DuRiXG February and March there was on view at the Museum the model of the Syrian Protestant College at Beirut, Syria, which the Rev. D. Stuart Dodge, D.D., has had made for the exhibit of Christian Missions at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, at St. Louis. The model is on a scale of one-sixteenth of an inch to the foot and gives an excellent idea of this educational institu- tion, which is one of the most influential on the shores of the Mediterranean. 37
