In Zoology the Cabinets contain: a human skeleton, purchased in Paris, and a manikin made by Dr. Auzoux; skeletons of the different orders of mammals, and of birds; stuffed preparations of a large number of birds, mammals, fishes, reptiles, etc., a dissected horse's leg and hoof, a dissected eye, trachea and vocal apparatus, in papier-mache, by Dr. Auzoux ; collections of shells, fossils, and insects. The Geological Cabinet has been immensely improved the past year. In addition to the specimens from the State Geological Survey and other illustrative specimens, mineral and fossil, the cabinet has been the recipient of Prof. Ward's celebrated college series of famous fossils, so essential in elucidating the various phases of life in Geological History. This set was the munificent donation of Emory Cobb, Esq., President of the Board of Trustees. A valuable and extensive collection of the leads of the State, and accompanying mineral, was donated by General J. C. Smith and other gentlemen, of Galena.
