Clifton) still requires a considerable number of specimens, but the com- 

 moner ones have nearly all been supplied. 



British Coleoptera. — We have a large collection already, which has 

 not been as yet fully arranged. 



British Diptera and Orthoptera, &c. — Any. 



British Eggs. — Information can be had of the Sub-Curator, D. Pearce, 

 Clifton College. Many rare eggs are needed. 



British Birds. — The nests of British Birds are desirable, and a consi- 

 derable number of stuffed birds. 



British Mammalia. — Skins or stuffed specimens of any found wild in 

 Britain. 



British PLANTS.-^The Herbarium now contains more than a thousand 

 species, but good specimens of rai-e or local plants would be highly ac- 

 ceptable. 



British Coins. — Any. Provincial tokens of the 17th and 18th centuries 

 are also needed. 



British Antiquities. — Celtic, Eoman, or Early English remains. Many 

 persons would probably be able to assist in the formation of this Collec- 

 tion, which is as yet very small.

 ty2^es only of the principal natural divisions are required, it is desirable that 

 the Curator should be consulted before any such specimens are for- 

 warded. 



OsTEOLOGT. — The skeletons of the Perch, Frog (or Toad), Snake, Pigeon, 

 Echidna (or Ornithorhynchus), Cat, Rat, Mole, Bat, Monkey. Skulls of 

 the Pike, Crocodile, Tortoise, Turtle, Lizard, any large birds, any Marsu- 

 pials, Sloth, Armadillo, Anteater, Dolphin, Hyrax, Lion, Tiger, Bear, Seal, 

 Walrus, Monkeys. Separate vertebrae and other bones of Fish, Crocodile, 

 any large birds, Carnivora, &c. 



Scientific Books. — These are much required, especially such illustrated 

 works on Natural History, Geology, and Botany as would be useful for 

 reference. 



Donations of Money for the imr chase of cases and rare specimens will be of 

 great service toward completing the Museum. Those Parents who desire to 

 contribute a small annual sum {to be charged in the School Accounts) may
