Abstract:

Hamnett continues WILDLIFE IN NORTH CAROLINA magazine series on museums that exhibit nature. This month the State Museum of Natural History in Raleigh is reviewed. The North Carolina Legislature authorized the Department of Agriculture to “keep a museum or collection to illustrate the agricultural and other resources and the natural history of the State.” At the present time the collection of fish, amphibians, and reptiles from North Carolina is recognized as one of the best of those owned by museums devoted to state collections.
