The Albany Museum at Graham^s Town is said to be the 

 only institution of the kind at present existing in the 

 eastern districts of the Cape Colony, with the exception of a 

 small collection in the Gill College, Somerset East. Its 

 energetic Curator, Mr. M. Glanville, had prepared the pre- 

 sent catalogue with the view of showing what specimens it 

 already possesses, and with the hope of inducing his fellow- 

 colonists to help him to make it more complete. The series 

 of South-African birds enumerated (pp. 15-52) seems to be 

 of considerable extent.
