The skeleton of the Giraffe and the Moa, which are de- 

 scribed in this issue of the Bulletin, are a part of the 

 Manigault Osteological Collection, comprising* about 178 

 skeletons collected by the late Dr. G. E. Manigault and 

 nearly all mounted by him. These have hitherto been scat- 

 tered through the whole Museum without orderly arrange- 

 ment, but have recently been transferred to Holmes Hall 

 and arranged in natural order. When all the cases have 

 been glazed the gallery containing this collection will be 

 opened to the public, though some months will be required 

 to complete the preparation of descriptive labels. Work on 

 this collection will be reported from time to time in the 

 Bulletin.
