Although it is rather commonly supposed that the venomous copperhead snake (left) inhabits the woods of Michigan, Irving G. Reimann, newly appointed prefect at the University Museum, points out that there is no authentic report of this species in the state. It is often confused, he relates, with the non-poisonous Michigan milksnake (right) which resembles it except in color. The copperhead is mottled brown and copper, while the milksnake is mottled mahogany and cream-colored. New specimens of both snakes are included in the University Museum exhibits which are presently undergoing an extensive replanning and expansion.

Mighty Big Mural: After a visit to the University's Exhibit Museum, youngsters in a first grade class in Nankin Mills School, Garden City painted this 24-foot dinosaur mural. It is on display on the museum's fourth floor and will remain there until next Wednesday. That's Museum Director Irving G. Reimann at the right. He's pointing to the type of dinosaur for which the bones are available in Utah- if the museum had the $2,000 price.

Special Addition: Robert S. Butsch, associate curator of exhibits, adjusts a name tag at the foot of the newest addition to the University exhibit museum, a golden eagle shot by an unidentified hunter in the Portage Lake area last summer. The wing span measured a little more than six feet. This specimen is only the 14th to be obtained in the state since 1870. It is essentially a western bird. At upper left is an immature bald eagle which has not yet acquired the famed white head feathers that give it its name. The entire exhibit case has just been remodeled and the specimens rearranged.
