. Annual report for the year ended June 30 .... United States National Museum. EXHIBITS 17. Preparing models of marine invertebrates for the hall of oceanic life. quick freezing specimens in a clieeseclotli "cocoon" so that they can be shipped long distances in styrofoam containers, with dry ice, without damage to fragile appendages. Curator of moUusks Harald A. Rehder also provided basic data to modelmakers and gave scien- tific guidance to exhibits personnel who are preparing models of mollusks for display in this hall. Model prex^aration continued throughout the year. Exhibits designers Gorman Bond and Morris Pearson are designing individual display units. Curator of fishes Leonard P. Schultz served as chairman of the group of staff scientists who are collaborating with exhibits designer Barbara Craig in the development of the new hall of cold-blooded vertebrates. Other members of this planning group include curator of reptiles Doris M. Cochran and associate curators of fishes Ernest A, Lacliner and William E. Taylor. They have prepared detailed outlines of exhibits which will interpret the life activities, anatomical adaptations, breeding behavior, distribution, evolutionary liistory, and the variety of the different kinds of fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. Habitat groups as well as topical exhibits will appear in this hall. The hall was cleared of all old cases and the contractor began new construction in it early in May Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States National Museum.
