of Birds and the Keate Collection of Shells) and only attraction 

 to the Victoria Institute and the one to which the Institute 

 owes its numerous visitors. There is yet much work to be done 

 — the Reptile and Insect Collections especially are not complete 

 but " Rome was not built in one day," and the Members of the 

 Club who contribute are all amateurs, who are always busily 

 engaged in professional or mercantile duties, with few leisure 

 moments for Natural History. Amongst the contributors to the 

 collections special mention is to be made of Mr. H. Caracciolo, 

 (President) Mr. A. B. Carr, and Mr. W. E. Broadway. The
