Résumé:

The building recently erected in the Smithsonian Park in Washington for the natural history collections of the United States National Museum, as one of the latest great museum buildings, and embodying many new and important features, has attracted wide attention and given rise to repeated inquiries regarding its construction and arrangement. This paper has been prepared to meet this demand, a demand largely inspired by the exceptional activity in museum enterprise which for several years past has prevailed throughout the country.
