INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

On the occasion of

tlie

International Exhibition,

in 1876, certain

appro-

priations

were made by Congress

to

the Smithsonian

Institution

and the United States Fish Commission. The ^former was

called ux)on to

prepare an exhibition

toillustrate

the economical value of the mineral and animal products of the country, while the

latter

was

to

perform a

similar

task

for

the national

fisheries. It

was subsequently found

desir-

able

for

the Smithsonian

Institution to

unite with the Indian Bureau

in

displaying the condition of the aboriginal

tribes

of the United States

in prehistoric

and modern

times.

Four

distinct

dej)artments of work were thus provided

for, (1)

an ethnological

exhibition, ₍₂₎

an

exhibition

of

minerals, ₍₃₎

an exhibition of animal

resources,

and

₍₄₎

a

fisheryexhibi- tion.

The

first

and second were arranged on

oi^posite sides

of the nave

in

the Government

building, at

Philadelphia, and

atits

north

end.

The

latter,it

was fouud, could not be separated,

since

the character of the specimens and the methods of arrangement required were the same.

They were arranged

in

one

series

on the north

side

of the

east

transept and

to

the

east

of the nave extending north

to

the beginning of the mineral

series.

The following catalogue

is

a

simi)le

enumeration of the

objects

exhib-

ited in this series,

and

illustrative

of the animal resources and the

fish- eriesof

the United

States. Itis essentially

a reproduction of the

card-

catalogue prepared

in

187G and

stillin

use

in

the administration of the

collection,

which, having been greatly augmented hj systematic

efforts in

the United States and by donations from

foreign

governments, now forms an

imijortant section

of the United States

ISTational

Museum. The catalogue has been as

far

as practicable made complete up

to

the present

time, in so far

as

it relates to

North America. No

effort has,

however, been made

to

include the

collateral series

of specimens from foreign

countries.

The plan of arrangement

isfully

shown

in

the Table of Contents.

Beginning with the Useful and Injurious Animals,

it

next takes

u^)

the

Means of Pursuit and Capture,

then, successively,

the Methods OF Pkepaeing them foe Use, The Useful, Products, and,

finally,

XV

XVI INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

tlie

Means of Protection and Culture. The preliminary plan of

classificationis

given

in full, wli

ether specimens were obtained

to illus- trateit

or

not,

and

indicates

wherein the

collectionisstillimperfect.*

It

seems appropriate

to

remark that a very large number of the

speci-

mens included

in this

catalogue and exhibited

in

Philadelphia were borrowed from the permanent

collections

of the

^STational

Museum, and have

for

many years been on exhibition

in

the Smithsonian

building.
