No Place Like The Bug House---- Ask The Museum That Owns One
By NANCY JACK (Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
Enough furs to make several coats, a "blond" skunk, and thousands of birds, reptiles, and mammals are among the collections in Dyche museum.
The little-known third floor of the museum is divided into office space, a mammal gallery, a reptile room, a bird room, and a taxidermy room. Casual museum-goers seldom climb as high as the third floor, and research collections there are kept in light proof, mothproof, dustproof cases or preserved in jars of alcohol or formalin.
Furs valued at several thousand dollars are kept in a temperature-controlled, cork-walled room downstairs. They are tanned and include mink, red and grey fox, skunk, lynx, beaver, bear, coyote and deer and sea-lion hide.
Animals in the mammal room are stuffed and along with their skulls, classified and filed in the proper case. Everything from a Peromyscus (field mouse), to a coyote may be found on a rabbit's back, rabbits, chipmunks, weasels, mice, gophers, and many small rodents are included.

Snakes, salamanders, turtles, frogs fish and bones of these animals are preserved and classified in row after row of jars and cases in the reptile room. In this room also is the refrigerator in which students can keep specimens fresh until they are ready to work on them.
Birds occupy the south room on the third floor. They, like the mammals, are kept in airtight, lightproof cases. Although it is hard to obtain an American eagle because it is illegal to kill them, the Museum recently obtained one that was presumably killed by a power line. A library of books and periodicals on birds and nature lore shares one corner of this ornithology room, and heads of bear, moose, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and buffalo are mounted on the ceiling beams.
Behind the reptile room is the taxidermy department. It is here that animals brought in are worked on and mounted. Tools and materials for the job line the walls, and workbenches, a drying cage, and cases of specimens fill the rest of the room.
Part of the department not housed in Dyche is the "bug room," which is in the physiology laboratory. Bones not too well cleaned are "thrown to the bugs," and when they get through, the bone is the only thing left.
Graduate students and majors in zoology choose particular problems to study, and through their findings and collections, the number of research specimens grows.
Specimens are given to the university by interested persons all over the country, and some are bought. The

other source of specimens is field trips. By trapping, shooting, or snaring, the dauntless zoology majors get their specimens.
All the rooms on the third floor of Dyche are large and well-lighted. Workbenches line the large windows and from the height of the third floor, the whole campus can be seen.
Among university collections. Dyche museum has the third or fourth largest collections in the country of recent living vertebrates according to Dr. D. F. Hoffmeister, assistant curator of the museum.
