Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from General Guide to the Exhibition Halls of the American Museum of Natural History
On the left is a large slab of fossiliferous limestone from Kelleys Glacial Island in Lake Erie near Sandusky, whose surface has been smoothed, grooved and scratched by the stones and sand in the bottom of the vast moving ice sheet or glacier that covered the northeastern part of North America during the Glacial Epoch.
The Information Bureau and the Visitors' Room are on either side of the south entrance. Wheel chairs for children or adults are available without charge. Postcards, photographs, guide lea?ets, and Museum Visitors' publications of various sorts are for sale, and visitors may Rm arrange to meet friends here. On the right and left of the entrance are small Assembly Halls in which lectures to classes from the public schools of the City are given and where the New York Academy of Sciences and other scientific societies hold their meetings.
