Description:Excerpt from Fortieth Annual Report of the New York State Museum of Natural History: For the Year 1886 To the Legislature of the State of New York: The Regents of the University submit to yon, as required by law, their fortieth animal report as trustees of the State Museum of Natural History. In the last annual report the trustees of the museum called your attention to the work of preparing the State Hall for its occupancy for a museum, which was intrusted to them by a law passed in 1883. The full use of the building was only to come into the hands of the museum when the State officers were provided with proper accommodations in the Capitol. This has not yet been accomplished, and the Comptroller, the Treasurer and the Engineer and Surveyor still occupy parts of the building. Since the last report, however, the clerk of the Court of Appeals has vacated two rooms which he had occupied on the south-west corner of the second story. These rooms are now used by the museum, one of them being the quarters for the State Botanist and the large collection of plants composing the State herbarium, which are under his care. The other room is used by Professor Hall and Mr. Beecher as an office. Progress has been made in removing the material from Professor Hall's buildings to the rooms alloted to them in the State Hall. The portion of material which has been removed is that which had been used by Professor Hall in his publication of the Palaeontology of the State. Rooms in the basement, on the north-east corner, have been fitted up for the machinery used in making sections of rock and sections of palaeontological specimens. These sections go far towards revealing the proper inward construction of the ancient inhabitants of the earth. They are now being studied with great profit by those who are making palaeontology their specialty. As rapidly as the State officers can be provided with accommodations the rooms of the State Hall will be utilized for the State Museum.
