The Coleoptera are represented by a great number of specimens, 

 and the arranging and labelling of them has been very kindly 

 undertaken by Mr Barton, an experienced coleopterist. Professor 

 Westwood, of Oxford, is the contributor of one-half of these 

 insects, and he has given so much time and trouble to their 

 selection and naming, that our very warmest thanks are due to 

 him. J. r. M. H. Stone is also the donor of a large proportion of 

 the whole collection. In other departments of the insect world 

 we have very few examples. 



The British eggs are numerous and well arranged. Of stuffed 

 British birds, too, we have a good many specimens. The follow- 

 ing are lists of them, written mainly by J. F. M. H. Stone and 

 P. A. Ogilvie :—
