This catalogue of the Army Medical Museum contains a descriptive list of specimens with the name of the contributor. "The collection at present consists of thirteen hundred and forty-nine objects. Of these, nine hundred and eighty-five are surgical specimens, one hundred and six are medical, and one hundred and thirty-three are missiles, which, for the most part, have been extracted from the body. This latter class includes round and conical bullets, shot, grape, canister, fragments of shell, arrows, arrow-heads, etc. Not the least interesting portion of the cabinet is a series of projectiles for small arms, field and heavy guns; and also a complete set of the bayonets now in use in our own and foreign services."
