Let X be a separable metric space. By Cld W (X), we denote the hyperspace of non-empty closed subsets of X with the Wijsman topology. Let Fin W (X) and Bdd W (X) be the subspaces of Cld W (X) consisting of all non-empty finite sets and of all non-empty bounded closed sets, respectively. It is proved that if X is an infinite-dimensional separable Banach space then Cld W (X) is homeomorphic to (≈) the separable Hilbert space 2 and Fin W (Moreover, we show that if the complement of any finite union of open balls in X has only finitely many path-components, all of which are closed in X, then Fin W (X) and Cld W (X) are ANR's. We also give a sufficient condition under which Fin W (X) is homotopy dense in Cld W (X).
