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. 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—has been presented
by his brothers, the Rev. Lemuel Brooks and Mr. Garey Brooks,
of New York, and is now in its proper place in the Botanical Hall.
