'Western' Oct 20 Tuesday Liverpool Liverpool Free Museum. Cases in Geology Dept of brass, solid frames and the glass frames secured in therefore great difficulty to open. Frames very narrow and therefore the entire case made all glass. Fossil Invertebrate collection small, in table cases. Mounted on paper covered corrugated tiles (Archyars). Labeling inadequate.

Then cases to the Chordata, and others to the div, of the Mammalia
