The readers of the » Notes" will remember that Prof. 

 Schlegel , in 1881, published a paper ^) about a zoological 

 expedition sent under his supervision to Liberia, on the 

 West Coast of Africa. That paper was, as Prof. Schlegel 

 said, intended to serve as an introduction to the descrip- 

 tion of new and interesting animals, both those expected 

 and such as were , at that time , already obtained from the 

 expedition , and mentioned a number of valuable mammals 

 and birds , collected during our nine months' stay on the 

 banks of the St. Pauls River. 



Since that time, the volumes of the » Notes" contain a 

 number of papers *) from the hands of Drs. Jentink , Hu-
