Bailey. Many months have been spent by the museum's ornithological department in collecting, preparing, and classifying the more than 700 specimens which will be placed on exhibition in the newly erected special display cases on the third floor of the institution. When the exhibit is opened it will contain at least two specimens of every kind of bird that has ever lived in the Chicago area, including several extinct and rare species, such as the passenger pigeon, Eskimo curlew, Carolina paroquet, and snowy egret. The male and female of each species will be mounted side by side, along with other specimens if there is a different color phase of the bird to be noted, making the collection complete to the last detail. "The object of the collection is to afford a full and comprehensive survey of all the birds that ·have inhabited the part of the country in which we live, and to have the collection in such a f0rm that it is easily seen and understood by even the casual visitor," Mr. Bailey said. "It will be particularly valuable to the many classes in natural history that come from the public schools. "Besides the totally extinct species, we have specimens that are becoming rare, such as the Bartramian sandpiper and the woodcock. It is not the rare species which will be of the greatest value: to the bird student, however, but the complete collection of small passerine forms,-the warblers and sparrows which are hard to identify and which are of such economic value."
