CURATORS, R. B. Hildreth, C. A. Emery, C. W. Bennett, J. A. Allen, and Solomon Stebbins.
This institution originated in 1860 with the Library Association, and two rooms were assigned to it in the City Hall, which have been fitted up with appropriate shelves and cases, and now contain about 1,500 species and upwards of 3,600 specimens of shells, clas- sified by Dr. George A. Otis, recently Surgeon of the 27th Mas- sachusetts Regiment ; also 7,407 specimens of insects, 481 speci- mens of stuffed birds ; 104 stuffed quadrupeds, including two enor- mous wildcats, killed in this country; 115 species of fish and reptiles ; sınall cabinets of coral and crustacea ; an extensive min- eralogical cabinet; a large and very curious collection of fossils ; numerous Indian and foreign antiquities, and several flags and various other trophies captured from the Southern rebels by our home troops. Additions are frequently made by the generosity of our citizens, and our Museum is in quite a flourishing state for so young an institution. The Museum is open and admission free to the public on Saturday evenings. At other times a permit from the Librarian or one of the curators is requisite for admission. Donations for the Library or the Museum may be left with the Librarian.
