any Yermont specimens desired. It is often that, in the 

 homes of our citizens, I find a specimen or two that should 

 be in our State collection; but they are unwilling to part

 be enabled to exchange, giving specimens foreign to Yer- 

 mont, and more beautiful to grace our homes, for specimens 

 desired in the State collection. 



ORNITHOLOGY. 



The following are the names of the birds, in part, that 

 have been added, or in other words are the specimens added 

 in 1875. Those of 1876 are not yet in order for names, 

 and as no full list can be given, I give none of this year's 

 acquisition.
