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. Will sell for
$200.
Hambuck collection has about
2000 crinoids and probably as many
blastoids. Also about 300 Green River
insects of which about 1700 are very
good. Also many other fossils.
Day to mention that Hambuck
has found some Texan Crinoid
