BROOKS MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.
This Museum consists of well-selected cabinets of Zoology, Mineralogy
and Geology, arranged in a handsome building, erected for the purpose,
according to the plans of a competent architect. The collections have
been made, mounted, and arranged by Professor Henry A. Ward, of
Rochester, N. Y. They furnish ample means of illustration in their several
departments. The building and its various cabinets are the gift of
the late Mr. Lewis Brooks, of New York.
A Botanical collection—which formed a part of the original plan of Mr.
Brooks, but had not been provided for before his death—is now in course
of preparation, at the expense and as a gift of Mr. — and Mr. —.
