Then there is a fine specimen of Coccy- dile from the Everglades of Green River which Hambuck collected. It is about 10 fat long and preserves meat all of the animal excepting the terminations of the tails. I am said to be the most perfect American specimen. Then there is a fine Green River Palm about 30 inches each way. Also collected by Hambuck. Dr. Hambuck owns a meteorite weighing 56 pounds. Iron meteorite. Cut pieces given on one side.
