Cincinnati Society of Natural History. 



The list of Dr. F. W. Langdon gives 279 species of birds found 

 in Cincinnati and vicinity. Of these the Society has, of mounted 

 specimens, 133 species, of skins 90 species, a total of 223 species. 

 Among the skins should be mentioned that of the Cincinnati Warbler, 

 taken and named by Dr. Langdon ; the only specimen ever taken. 

 The local collection is being filled as rapidly as possible. The 

 collection needs more room and better light to display it properly 

 and give it its true value. 



VII. MAMMALOLOGY. 



The Society possesses an excellent and very valuable collection 

 of mammalian fauna, though it is not a representative local collec- 

 tion, having very {^^^ of the mammals of this vicinity. 



The several classes of mammalia are represented as follows:

VIII. ENTOMOLOGY. 



A large proportion of the specimens in the department of Ento- 

 mology are found in this locality, tut it is far from being complete 

 in this respect. 



There are more than 450 species of Coleoptera in the collection. 



Of Lepidoptera there are not so many species represented; 

 though I am unable at present to state the exact number — 200 

 species would be somewhat less than the actual number. 



The other classes are represented by a small number of 

 specimens. 



The collection needs more commodious and convenient quarters 

 than it is possible for it to have at present. 



IX. OSTEOLOGY. 



The Society possesses a number of very good skeletons, one, 

 that of the giraffe, being quite a rare one.
